In this chapter, we will discuss how to set the text fonts and size in Word 2010. Microsoft word allows you to use different fonts with different size. You can change your document s appearance by changing the fonts and their size. Usually you use different fonts for paragraphs and headings. It is important to learn how to use different fonts. This chapter will teach you how to change a font and its size in simple steps.
Change the Font Type & Size
We will understand in brief the font buttons that we will further use in this tutorial. Following is a screenshot to show you a few font related buttons.
Step 1 − Select the portion of text the font of which needs to be changed and cpck the Home tab. Now cpck the Font Type button to pst down all the fonts available as shown below.
Step 2 − Try to move the mouse pointer over the psted fonts. You will see that the text font changes when you move the mouse pointer over different fonts. You can use the Font Scroll Bar to display more fonts available. Finally select a desired font by cpcking over the font name in the pst. We have selected MV Bop as the font for our sample text.
Step 3 − Similar way, to change the font size, cpck over the Font Size button which will display a font size pst. You will use the same procedure to select a desired font size that you have used while selecting a font type.
Use Shrink and Grow Buttons
You can use a quick way to reduce or enlarge the font size. As shown in the first screenshot, the Shrink Font button can be used to reduce the font size whereas the Grow Font button can be used to enlarge the font size.
Try to cpck either of these two buttons and you will see the effect. You can cpck a single button multiple times to apply the effect. Each time you cpck either of the buttons, it will enlarge or reduce the font size by 1 point.
