A font consists of three elements—typeface, type size, and typestyle.
A typeface is a set of characters with a common design and shape. A monospaced typeface allots the same amount of horizontal
space for each character; a proportional typeface allots a varying amount of space for each character and is divided into two main
categories: serif and sans serif.
Type size is generally set in proportional size. The size of proportional type is measured vertically in units called points.
Typestyles are divided into four main categories: regular, bold, italic, and bold italic.

Apply a Theme
Word provides a number of themes you can use to format text in your document.
A theme is a set of formatting choices that includes a color theme (a set of colors), a font theme (a set of
heading and body text fonts), and an effects theme (a set of lines and fill effects).
Applying a theme can give your documents a professional look.
You can hover the mouse pointer over a theme and the live preview feature will display your document with
the theme formatting applied.
