Italics, bold, underline, highlighting, strikethrough, paragraph styles, centering, size, color, and more all fall under the umbrella of “formatting”. As a result, if you made changes to your document that didn’t turn out as expected, the clear formatting feature in Word will get you back to a blank slate.
