A Q&A session followed, allowing participants to clarify their queries before a short health break.

The morning session continued with an in-depth discussion on formatting text and paragraphs, where participants learned how to modify font styles, sizes, and colors, apply bold, italics, and underline features, and adjust text alignment and indentation. Asst. Prof. Malabayabas demonstrated practical applications, ensuring attendees gained hands-on experience before breaking for lunch.

In the afternoon, the focus shifted to page layout basics, where attendees explored document margins, orientation, sizes, headers, footers, columns, backgrounds, and borders. The interactive session provided a comprehensive understanding of document structuring, essential for creating professional and well-organized content. Another Q&A session allowed participants to engage further and clarify any uncertainties before a short health break.

The day concluded with a post-assessment to gauge participants' learning progress, followed by the awarding of certificates, acknowledging their successful completion of the training. Dr. Regene G.
