CHANGING THE FONT TYPE AND SIZE
The characters of a specific size and design used for typing the text are
called Fonts . Word provides various types of font options. When you
open Word, the text appears in the default font type, i.e., Calibri (Body)
with 11 point size.
To change the font type and size, follow these steps:
1. Select the text. Click on the Home tab.
2. Click on the drop-down arrow next to the Font box in the Font group. A
list of fonts appears.
3. Choose the desired font from the displayed font list. Observe the change.
4. You can also change the size of the text by clicking on the drop-down
arrow next to the Font Size box and select the desired size of the font.
APPLYING BOLD, ITALIC, AND UNDERLINE EFFECTS
The font style options, such as Bold , Italics and Underline are used to emphasise the text
and catch the reader's attention.
• Bold: It makes the selected word darker than the rest of the text.
• Italics: This effect emphasises the text by slanting it to the right.
• Underline: It emphasises the text by placing a line under it. You can underline a word
or sentence along with the spaces.
