Have you ever used the space bar repeatedly to make things line up in Word, but when it prints, it doesn't look as good as it did on the screen? Learn the proper ways to make things line up, and it is easier to do than using the space bar! Topics covered include "Selecting and Setting Tabs," "Setting Indents" including a hanging indent (great for tests or numbered lists), "Setting Up Columns," and "Using Tables." Once you learn to line things up the right way, you won't go back to a machine gun space bar! Facilitated by Bill Holmes.
