Even if you only use Word occasionally, I’d recommend you do the same.
Some of the steps are not available in the free web-based version of the program.
For example, which font do I want to use for my main body text?

Whattypes of headingswill I use?
Whicheditor languagedo I want Microsoft Word to help me with?
These questionsamong othersmust be answered before I jot down my first word.
The Styles group in the Home tab is where I make these adjustments.
To modify a style, right-click one of the choices available, and click “Modify.”
By default, Word will automatically recommend commonly-used styles until you adjust them to suit your needs.
On the other hand, I have the habit of typing “etc.”
Then, in the Word Options window, click “Proofing” and then “AutoCorrect Options.”
Then, in the Word Options window, click “Quick Access Toolbar.”
