Step 6th, in the format area, set the paragraph formatting and character formatting for the font, font size, color, paragraph spacing, alignment, and so on.

Tip: If the user chooses the table option when selecting Style type, only the table-related styles in the style base provide a selection, and you cannot set paragraph formatting such as paragraph spacing, as shown in Figure 7.
