This makes creating footnotes easier than it had been with previous versions of Word. X 2 is just the opposite, putting smaller text above the text line. This simply puts smaller text below the text line of the normal text.

Next to the strikethrough command, you'll see 'X 2'. When clicking on this button, it will put a line through any text you have selected. Next to the commands for boldfaced, italics, and underline, you'll see an 'abc' with a line through it. To add italics, boldfaced, or underlining to any portion of a text within a document, select the desired text, then click the appropriate button (B for boldfaced, I for italic, or U for underline.) On the other hand, clicking the smaller A will decrease the font size by one for each time it's clicked. Pushing the larger A will increase your font size by one for each time it's clicked. You can also use the two uppercase A's beside the font size box to change the size of fonts you're currently using. You can change an entire document or just a portion. To change the size of the font, simply select the text that you want to change, then select the new font size. Once again, you can use the down arrow key to either enlarge or reduce the font size. Using the picture above, the font size is 11. Next to the type of font under the Home tab is a box that states the size of font currently being used. By clicking on this arrow, you can also alter character spacing. Note: You can also do all font formatting by selecting the arrow key beside the word Font at the bottom of the section. To change the type of font within a document or for the entire document, simply select the text to be formatted, then select your new font. You can click on the arrow in that window to display other types of font available to use. In the picture above, the current type of font is Calibiri.
