Set Font Dialog

The Set Font dialog is used to set or change each of the following:

•Font (e.g., Arial, Courier or Times New Roman)

•Style (bold, italic, underline, subscript or superscript)

•Font size (e.g., 10 point or 12 point)

•Render character case ("as typed" is the default, or select uppercase, lowercase, small caps or uppercase and small caps)

•Underline style (underlining can include or exclude tabs, spaces and punctuation)

•Font color

You can change settings for the entire document, for the portion of the document following the cursor or for selected text. If you want to apply the changes to the document starting at the cursor, place your cursor at the starting point before proceeding with the following directions. If you want to apply the changes to a portion of the document, select (highlight) the text to be modified before proceeding.

1	Click Format, Font, Font (or press Ctrl+T) to access the Set Font dialog. (The Set Font dialog may also be accessed from within certain other dialogs.)

2	Click on the desired font in the Font window of the Set Font dialog.

3	Click on the desired style in the Style window of the Set Font dialog.

•You can click on more than one style (for example, italics and bold).

•The Additive check box should be clear if you want the style you select to replace styles previously in place in the document and checked if you want the style you select to be in addition to styles already in place. See Additive/Non-Additive.

4	Click on the desired font size in the Size window of the Set Font dialog.

Use the Render Case drop down list to select the desired character case. If you make a selection other than "as typed" it will override the way you type text. For example, if you select All lowercase, then text will be displayed in Page Layout View and printed in lowercase letters even if you type a letter in uppercase.

6	Use the drop down list to select the desired underline style.

7	Click the Color button to change the font color.

8	Click the Apply to field and choose one of the following options

•Document Default - select font, font style and font size are made the default for the entire document

•Insertion Point Forward - selected font, font style and font size are applied from the place of cursor to the end of the document

•Other options, such as Selected Text, may be available..

9	Observe the preview window to see how the selections effect your text. To implement the selections you have made, click OK.

The Set Font dialog cannot be used to add double underline and strike through. However, you can select these modes directly by clicking Format, Font and then the desired mode, or you can use keyboard shortcuts or the action line.
