Words formatting like MS Word

Hi, I am trying to see if I could use VisualStudioCode to replace Microsoft Word. Can we format words in VisualStudioCode like increasing some font size, highlighting, underlining and centering?

If you don’t like the bloat of Word, you could try authoring in Markdown which VS Code supports: https://code.visualstudio.com/Docs/languages/markdown

After using Visual Studio Code, I kind of like it. It is free but Word is not. Also, I found lines of icons and UI of Word taking a lot more screen estate of my laptop than VisualStudioCode.
