Themes apply a consistent set of fonts, colors, and effects to the entire document. You can access styles and themes from the Home and the Page Layout tabs respectively.
5. Bullets and Numbering: To add bullet points or numbering to your document, select the text and use the Bullets or Numbering options on the Home tab in the Paragraph group. You can choose different bullet styles, customize the indentation, and format the bullet or numbering appearance.

These are just a few formatting options available in MS Word. The software provides a wide range of formatting tools to customize the appearance of your document and make it visually appealing.
