Changing Text Style and Format You have many options for creating attractive, easy-to-read text that conveys your ideas visually. You can change the appearance of the characters you use, as well as the alignment and spacing of lines in a paragraph. Indentations and hanging indents allow you to offset text and numbered lists. How a character looks on the screen and when it is printed is determined by its font, size, style, and other attributes.
