FONT GROUP



FONT:-

Changing Fonts - The starting font for a new document in Word 2007 is usually set to Calibri (Body). You might want to use a different style of lettering (font or typeface) to personalize your work. Several fonts are available in Word. If you want to change the current font:
1.   Click on the list arrow attached to the [Font] button on the Home tab
2.   Click on the font you require, e.g. Times New Roman – you can either scroll down the list to find the font you want, or type in the name of the font to pick it up more quickly

Some fonts (e.g. Symbol and Wingdings) produce non-Roman letters or iconic symbols. Courier New gives a typewriter font. Sans-serif fonts, such as Ariel, give clear headings.

Example:- 



Changing Font Size
Generally a point size of 10, 11 or 12 is used for the body of the text while point sizes of 13 to 16 are used for headings. The current size (11) is shown in the font size box. To alter this:
                                       
1.   Click on the list arrow attached to the [Font Size] button on the Home tab


2.   Click on the font you require, e.g. Times New Roman – you can either scroll down the list to find the font you want, or type in the name of the font to pick it up more quickly
Some fonts (e.g. Symbol and Wingdings) produce non-Roman letters or iconic symbols. Courier New gives a typewriter font. Sans-serif fonts, such as Ariel, give clear headings.

Example:- 


Tip: You can also type the number directly into the font size box (press <Enter> to set it). This allows you to select a font size not in the list, for example 13 or a bigger number if you want very large characters

 Clear Formatting 
 The Clear Formatting command removes any formats you've applied to the text: font, size, text attributes (bold or italic), and color. More specifically, it restores characters to the formatting defined by the style you’re using. So, if the Body style is 12-point Calibri, this command restores that font and size.

The Clear Formatting command in Word 2007 lets you peel away all formats from your text, just like you peel the skin from a banana. You can remove formatting from a block of selected text, or the text the insertion pointer is on or future text you type.
There are three ways to apply this command:

1.      Select the text that you want to clear formatting, and move your pointer to the Mini toolbar above your selection. 
·         Click the Clear Formatting button in the Font group. 
The Clear Formatting button is located in the top-right corner of the Font group.
·         Press Ctrl+space bar.

·         Press Ctrl+Shift+Z. 

Example:- 


Remember that Ctrl+Z are the Undo command. To undo formatting, all you do is adding the Shift key.




Make text bold

1.      Select the text that you want to make bold, and move your pointer to the Mini toolbar above your selection.
2.      Click Bold. 

Keyboard shortcut CTRL+B
Example:- 


NOTE:-    Click Bold again to UN bold the text that you selected.



Make text Italic

1.     Select the text that you want to make Italic, and move your pointer to the Mini toolbar above your selection.
2.      Click Italic. 
Keyboard shortcut - CTRL+I  

Example:- 
 NOTE    Click Italic   again to UN Italic the text that you selected.


Make text Underline

1.     Select the text that you want to make Underline, and move your pointer to the Ribbon above your selection.
2. Click Underline.
Keyboard shortcut - CTRL+U

Example:- 

 NOTE    Click Underline  again to un Italic the text that you selected.



Strikethrough Text

·         Select the word/text to strike-through 

·         Then click on Home tab, and then look for the strike-through button under the 'Font' group (picture below). The button looks like "abc" with a line drawn through the middle of the text. Click it. Done.
Example:- 




Superscript and Subscript


Superscript and subscript refer to numbers that are positioned 

slightly higher or slightly lower than the text on the line.

For example, a footnote or end-note number reference is an 

example of superscript, and a scientific formula might use 

subscript text.
Make text superscript or subscript
1.     Select the text that you want to format as superscript or subscript.

2.     Do one of the following:

On the Home tab, in the Font group,
Click Superscript. Or press CTRL+SHIFT+=.

On the Home tab, in the Font group,Click Subscript. Or press CTRL+=. 

Example:- 
                                                              Subscript
                                                                          super script



Change the capitalization of text
In Word 2007, we can change the capitalization of words, sentences, or paragraphs by doing the following:


1.    Select the text that you want to change the case of.
2.    On the Home tab, in the Font group, click ChangeCase  
3.   Then click the capitalization option that you want.
§  To capitalize the first letter of a sentence and leave all other letters as lowercase, click Sentence case.
§  To exclude capital letters from your text, click lowercase.
§  To capitalize all of the letters, click UPPERCASE.

§  To capitalize the first letter of each word and leave the other letters lowercase, click Capitalize Each Word.
