  1. Select the text you want to change.

    To change all of the text in a text box or a table cell, select the text box or triple-click the table cell.

  2. Click the Style button near the top of the sidebar on the right.

    If you don’t see a sidebar, or the sidebar doesn’t have a Style button, click Format button in the toolbar. If the text is in a text box, table, or shape, first click the Text tab at the top of the sidebar, then click the Style button.

  3. In the Font section, click one or more format buttons.

    To remove a specific format, click that button again.

    If the font you’re using has other styles available (such as light or condensed), click the pop-up menu above the buttons to choose one of the styles.

Tip: You can set keyboard shortcuts to quickly apply bold, italic, underline, or other character styles to text.
