Changing text styles

You can change the appearance of text by using the Text Properties pop-up panel. You can change the font, size, attributes, and text color for an entire text block or level in a text block. A particular combination of text properties defines the appearance of text.

  1. Click the text block whose properties you want to change.

  2. In the action bar, click Properties.

  3. At the top of the pop-up panel, click Font.

    Note Sometimes you may have to open more than one panel to see all the text properties available.

  4. (Optional) In the Levels list, click the arrow and click the level you want to change.

    The default is All Levels.

  5. Select the options you want:

    To change: Do this ...
    Font name Select a font from the list
    Size Select a size from 1 to 255 points
    Attribute Click B (bold) or I (italic)
    Text color Click to select a color from the palette
    Text wrap Select or deselect the Word wrap check box

Your changes take effect immediately.
