Selected text and paragraphs
You can specify detailed font formatting for selected text.
The selected text can be one character or many paragraphs.
If an input field is part of the selection, the font settings
apply to it, too. A picture that is part of the selection ignores
settings for the selected text object.
To specify formatting for selected text:
-
Select the text you want to format.
-
Right-click in the Design view and select Properties
from the pop-up menu.The Selected Text Object dialog box displays. You can set:
-
Paragraph alignment
The alignment setting on the Selected Text page applies to
all paragraphs in the selection. -
Font formatting
Settings on the Font page apply to text in the selection,
including input fields.
-
Paragraphs
There are also settings for selected paragraphs. You can display
the Paragraph dialog box by pressing Ctrl+Shift+S.
The user can double-click the ruler bar or press the key combination
to display the same dialog box.
Default font
The user can change the default font by double-clicking on
the toolbar or pressing Ctrl+Shift+D. You cannot
change the default font in the painter.
