Formatting Text

Change the Font, Size, and Color

You can change the font (also called the typeface), text size, and color to alter the appearance of text in a document. For example, you might change the font, size, and color of your document’s title text to emphasize it. You can also use Word’s basic formatting commands — Bold, Italic, Underline, Strikethrough, Subscript, and Superscript — to quickly add formatting to your text. By default, when you type text in a Word document, the program uses an 11-point Calibri font, but you can change that font to one you prefer.
