What is Formatting?

Basic Rule

Formatting affects:

• � selected text

• everything after the insertion point

Bold

Italic

Underline

Hot-keys

• Bold = Ctrl+B
• Italic = Ctrl+I
• Underline = Ctrl+U

How to use them:

Fonts

Some ways to access

• Format>Font...
• F9
• Double-click the Font-face or Font-size toolbar buttons.

Attributes

Changes in the appearance of the font face: bold, underline, italic, small caps, shadow, etc.

Attributes may be applied from the Font Dialog box (Format > Font.)Note: You will not find a font called san serif. Serifs are the embellishments (hats and feet) on letters. Sans means "without." So a "San Serif" font has no embellishments, while a "serif" font does have them.

Example: San Serif Font

This is a san serif font; it has no embellishments on the letters. Antique Olive, Arial, and Alburtus are examples of San Serif fonts.

Example: Serif Font

This is a serif font; it has embellishments on the letters. Times New Roman is an example of a Serif font.
