There are two ways of handing Paragraphs in Microsoft Word:
Home->Paragraphs
Layout->Paragraphs
The Paragraph options on the Home Ribbon format the Text. This Group has Bullets, Numbers, Indents and Line Spacing.
The Paragraph options on the Layout Ribbon format the margins and adjusts the space between the paragraphs.
Block formatting is used in business letters to call out important information. The APA also requires Block Quote formatting for any quote greater than 40 words.
