How to make text ITALICS in MS Word

we need to highlight the text that we're going to change. We'll turn part of the text to italics. So highlight the following line

"Does not include Mr Irate's alleged theft from his sweet shop"

When you have highlighted the text, click the italic icon in the tool bar. The icon will look like this after you have clicked the letter "I".

Another way to turn text to italics is to hold down the Ctrl key on your keyboard. With the Ctrl key held down, press the letter "I" on your keyboard.
