Formatting Text
Formatting text means changing the appearance of the characters.
Bold, italic, and underline are examples of text formatting. Other
examples include making the characters larger or smaller, striking a line
through them, and changing their color. Formatting changes are applied
to selected text or the text where the insertion point is located.
Fonts
A typeface is a design of characters. In common usage, the term font
is used to mean typeface, although technically these are not the same
thing. Common typefaces are Arial, Times New Roman, and Courier.
