Font Dialog Box

The Font dialog box allows you to specify a font, font size, style, and effect to apply to text in the Text Editor dialog box.

To open the Font dialog box, select Format>Font from the Text Editor dialog box menu bar.

To quickly change just the color of selected text in the Text Editor dialog box, click the Font Color: button. This option will also give you many more color choices than those available on the Font dialog box.

Use the Font dialog box to set the font, font style, size, and effects for text in the Text Editor.

Options on the Font dialog box include the following:
