Configure Paste Option
When it comes to copying texts in Microsoft Word, it tries to make things easy for you by automatically preserving the source formatting and offering the choice to modify the text at the same time to match the current document’s format. For example, if you want to avoid the options of formatting every time you paste text, you can click the button “Office” and then move to the Advanced section, where in the Cut/Copy/Paste heading you will find four options in a drop down menu. You can choose any of them as a default setting.


Alter Full-Justification Formatting
This type of formatting when applied to a paragraph in Microsoft Word then it makes sure that the text is aligned vertically on the right and left of the page through fine-tuning the spacing among the words. Sometimes you may spot unnecessary or too much spacing between the words, which can be corrected through full-justification formatting. In this way, it will make your work look more organized. In order to select this feature, follow the procedure below:
“Office” button > Word Option > Advanced tab > Layout Options > Do Full Justification

Hanging Indent
It has been seen that most of the users rarely go for this formatting option. Hanging indent is used for formatting paragraphs by making all the lines indent except the first one. If you wish to use this formatting option then choose the paragraph(s) you want to format and then move to the tab “Home”. There you will have to double-click on the icon in the right hand side of the pane “Paragraph”. Now, choose the drop down menu “Special” from the Spacing tab and then select the option “Hanging” followed by indicating the level of indentation. Finally, click on “OK” to apply the changes.
