Themes and Styles
In Word 2007, Styles and Themes play a much more prominent role. Styles have been
placed in the middle of the Home tab of the Ribbon and Themes
are hard
to miss on the Page Layout tab. At first glance, it may be
difficult
to see the differences between the two features. They both greatly affect the
document. However, Styles and Themes have been designed to work together and
have different purposes.
Styles are a predefined combination of text and paragraph attributes which include font,
size and line spacing, as well as indents, alignment, borders and shading. Styles can
be used to quickly and consistently format a document. Styles are also necessary for
some advanced work in Word, including outlines, tables of contents, and document
maps.
Themes control the overall colors, fonts, and effects that are used in a document. Each
theme has twelve colors and two fonts. Theme effects determine how effects are
applied to your charts, SmartArt graphics, shapes, and pictures. (Themes are available
throughout Microsoft Office 2007 so it is possible to create consistent documents,
presentations, and spreadsheets.)
What it boils down to is this: The Theme gives Word 12 colors and 2 fonts to work with
and the Style determines exactly how the colors and fonts are used. Or, in other words,
the Theme is the list of ingredients and the Style is the recipe.

Spacing
When creating a document, space is often used to clearly identify where each
paragraph begins and ends. By default, Word may place slightly more space between
paragraphs than it does between lines in a paragraph. You can increase or decrease
the amount of space that appears before and after paragraphs by entering amounts in
the Before and After fields in the Paragraph section of the Page Layout tab. Use the up
arrows next to the Before and After fields to increase the amount of space before or
after each paragraph; use the down arrows to decrease the amount of space before or
after each paragraph. Some people and organizations delineate the start of a new
paragraph by indenting the first line. If you want to indent the first line of your
paragraphs, you can use the Paragraph dialog box to set the amount by which you want
to indent. In the Special Field of the Paragraph dialog box, you
tell
Word you want to indent the first line by choosing First Line
from the menu options. In the By field, you tell Word the
amount, in inches by which you want to indent.

Pictures and graphics
From the insert menu, choose picture or clip art to insert into your document. Once the
picture is inserted, you will notice a Picture Tools tab appears over the Format tab.
Using this tab you can adjust, add frames, arrange the graphic or change the size.
When combining text and graphics on the same page Word Wrapping becomes very
important.
