Choosing different Types of Paragraphs

To practice typing choosing different types of paragraphs shows that you must have a knowledge of each paragraph layout. Paragraphs are the putting together of sentences in groups.

After each sentence you press the Enter key on your keyboard to give two spaces in order to begin another sentence. Some sentences ask a question so they end with a question mark (?). Others end with an exclamation mark (!) if there is need for urgency or emphasis in speech.

There are also short sentences and long ones, which can be broken up by a dash a semicolon  or comma, in order for the reader to connect the two parts quickly, and thus give a clearer understanding of the topic discussed.

Some sentences are direct speech from the speaker so it consists of quotation marks ("  ") to show up or identify the exact words of the speaker.

Practice Typing Types of Paragraphs

 Many typist or secretaries may only know of two types of paragraphs which is the indented that is the first line has started six lines inside or you can press the Tab key to start the first line. They may also know the blocked style where all lines are from the margin.  They are equal on the left side. Do you know there are other ways to change the style or format a paragraph?

For example a paragraph can be:

• Align left only where only the left of the paragraph that is from the margin are equal.
• Align left and right where both the lines of the paragraph are equal
• Align right only where all the lines to the right of the paragraph are equal
• You can hang your paragraphs. These normally has a side heading on the left and the paragraph on the other side.
• Number them or list them, etc. if you are talking about different items or topics.
• You can also change your line spacing to single line (1.0), one and a half line spacing (1.5) or double line spacing (2.0).

The Line Spacing button is found on the Ribbon if you are using the Word 2007 upwards. Do not forget to select your paragraphs in order to change your line spacing or paragraph style.

For hanging and indented paragraphs you can use the ruler above the white space or the Tab key located on the right side of the keyboard.

(All these will be demonstrated soon from a video).

The above formatting can be used for different purposes. It is important though to choose one that suits your document.

There are also benefits of choosing the right format for paragraphs. One thing is that it makes your information easier to read and understandable. Also your layout tells a lot about you the typist or secretary. Do not just type a document but show that you understand the topic and have chosen the right paragraph to suit.

So show some interest in your layout. Choose from a wide variety of styles.
