Notes
Kerning is the adjustment of space between letters so that no letter appears too far from its
neighbouring characters. If the size of a word is increased, space will appear between the two
adjacent letters. With kerning, this gap between characters is reduced and adjusted accordingly.
Format Paintbrush

Step 2: Click on ‘Format Paintbrush’ button from the standard toolbar. The mouse pointer will change
into the shape of Format Paintbrush.
