31. Use Special Character and Paragraph Formatting Special text and paragraph formatting can emphasize text to make your newsletter look more professional. When adding shading, use light colors; dark shading can make the text difficult to read. Paragraph borders provide strong visual cues to the reader.

33. Use Special Character and Paragraph Formatting Manual line break—hold down the Shift key while pressing the Enter key Moves text to the right of the insertion point to a new line Keeps text in the same paragraph
