The Importance of Text Formatting


Text Formatting is the art of altering the nature or appearance of text or documents from the default provided by a system to a style of their choice.
In simple terms, formatting is the altering from the system's default text setting.

Formatted text can draw the reader's attention to specific parts of a document and emphasize important information. In Word, you have several options for adjusting text, including font, size, and color. You can also adjust the alignment of the text to change how it is displayed on the page.

GCFglobal.

Markdown formatting covers areas like:
• Adding emphasis
• Text Alignment
• Inserting Pictures and graphics
• Inserting tables
• Creating item lists

The Advantage of formatting

Formatting will makes our work more readable, and appealing to loot at. Some formating helps bring out the true message in the text and in such cases, a lack of formatting will obscure the meaning or message.
Some authorities create a distinction between text formatting and document formatting and the table bellow will show the difference.

Text FormattingDocument Formatting
Changing text colour from the default black to any colourChanging from left Alignment to center or right alignment
Adjusting text size to make it small or larger than it's defaultInserting pictures or Gifs to the document
Making Emphasis by using the bold to place emphasis on a word or group of wordsAdding paragraph style to a document in form of a block style or indentation
Supper script are used to indicate the power of a valueInserting hyperlinks on documents creates connections between the document
The font type are the different handwriting we can useQuotation style are used to distinguish borrowed text

Text Formatting
This is adjusting the factory settings appearance of text by making it Bold or making it italics for the sake of emphasis.
Text formatting also involves adjusting the size of the text, making it big or small. You may also format a text by adjusting its colour to one that matches the tempo of the document.
A science document may contain equations and chemical formulas like NH3 which requires a subscript
Document Formatting
This adjusts the nature of a document as a whole. This can be done through indentation, paragraphing and subtitling.
Without the application of document formatting, the whole document will be a single block of text.
Document Formatting allows for pictures and hyperlinks to be attached to a document, including quotations bars and marks to set some text apart.
