Text Formatting in Word Font

This topic in Microsoft Word Tutorial will explain Text Formatting in Word Font.

As discussed earlier, this can be achieved in two ways. One method is to do the text formatting while we are typing the word, phrase or paragraph that needs Font change. Second method is to do the formatting after we have finished typing the word, phrase or paragraph through text block.

In the first method, press the "Down Arrow" button on the right of the Font icon (as shown in the graphic on your left) which will give you a drop down list of all available fonts. This icon can be found in the Formatting Toolbar. Select a Font from this list before starting to type the word, phrase or paragraph. The selected font will be active till you change to another font.

The second method is useful when you want to do the formatting (Font, in this topic) after the word, phrase or paragraph has already been typed. In this case, you will have to create a block of the word, phrase or paragraph and press the down arrow on the right of this icon (as shown in the above graphic). Then, select the desired Font from the drop down list. You can refer to the topic Cut Copy Paste Delete in Word for creating a block of text.

Given below are examples of a few fonts available in MS Word.
