In this article, I am going to explain how to set paragraph settings in Microsoft word 2016-part 1. This group includes some important but simple options, that need to explain very well due to that I divided this group into two parts. In the first part, I will explain aligning the texts, adding bullets, numbering, and multilevel icons. And the 2nd part I will explain line and paragraph spacing, shading, indentation, text direction, sort, and borders. These all are in the paragraph group, here we have many steps in each of them you will learn, how to use and where need to use these options.
Set Paragraph Settings in Microsoft Word Through the Home Tab
We have paragraph settings in two tabs, first paragraph setting is in home tab and 2nd paragraph setting is in the layout tab. The paragraph setting which is in home tab includes some options which I told you about them. But the paragraph which is in layout tab includes tow options such as intent option and spacing options. These two tabs have the same options and the same usages, due to that here I am explaining just the home tab paragraphs.

Step #1. Create a Bulleted List
