When text is selected, quickly change font family, type, size, color, and background color using the controls in the format bar.

The Fonts window gives you extensive control over fonts. Use size controls and typography settings to customize the appearance of your text.

To modify the font of selected text:

  1. Click Fonts in the toolbar.

  2. In the Fonts window, select a font style in the Family column, and then select the typeface in the Typeface column.

    If you don’t see all the font families you know are installed on your computer, select All Fonts in the Collections column or type the name of the font you are looking for in the search field at the bottom of the Fonts window.

    A preview of the selected font appears in the preview pane at the top of the Fonts window. If you don’t see a preview pane, choose Show Preview from the Action pop-up menu in the lower-left corner of the Fonts window.

  3. Adjust the font size using the size slider or other size controls.

  4. Adjust the typography settings of the selected font by choosing Typography from the Action pop-up menu. In the Typography window, click the disclosure triangles to see and select the different typography effects that are available for the selected font.

    Different fonts have different typography effects available. See Using Advanced Typography Features for more information.
