Setting Formatting Options

When you work within a document, you can set options to customize the way formatting appears in Word. In Word Options on the Display pane, you can set options to show or hide formatting marks. Formatting marks help you see characters that are not visible, such as tabs, spaces, paragraph marks, and hidden text. On the Advanced pane, you can set options to keep track of formatting (in the Style Inspector and direct formatting) and mark formatting inconsistencies, so you can create consistently formatted documents. When you cut, copy, and paste text and objects within the same document, between documents, or other programs, you can set options to keep source formatting or merge formatting with the current selection.
