Quite often, for the design of text, essays, abstracts, reports, presentations, a font change is required. You can make all the necessary changes without resorting to special programs: all settings are changed in the standard Office from Microsoft and not only.
Editing text in Microsoft Word
If you are using Microsoft Word, changing the font in your text is easy. To do this, using the mouse cursor, select the text you need to edit and on the top toolbar find the line, when you move the cursor over which, the inscription “Font” will appear. To change the font, you need to select the most suitable style from the list in the drop-down window and apply the changes. Similarly, but with the help of another section (it is located next to the previous menu), you can change the font size. For the convenience of working in Microsoft Word, when you hover the cursor over any icon, a description of the selected option appears.
In addition, in a text document created in Microsoft Word, there are functions "Highlighting", "Font color". Using them while working, you can change the color of the text and its background, on which it is located.
In case of unsuccessful application of the font, size, filling of the text or its color, at any time it is possible to undo the last changes. They are available in the "Edit" menu on the top operating line. The toolbar also has two arrow icons that allow you to perform actions such as Undo and Redo.
Change the font in a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation
Quite often, you need to change the font when creating presentations. And, as a rule, this process does not cause any special difficulties: in Microsoft PowerPoint the font is edited in the same way as in Microsoft Word. That is, find the items "Font", "Change font size", "Text color" and apply the necessary changes. In addition, PowerPoint has the ability not only to specify a specific size, but also to use the "Decrease Font Size" or "Increase Font Size" options.
Computer fonts are changing too
However, you can change the font not only in the text, but also on the computer itself. If you are using the Windows XP operating system, right-click on the free space of the working window. Select "Properties" from the list of options that opens and open the "Display Properties" window. Then go to the "Options" section and open the "Advanced" tab. Then, on the General tab, specify the scaling factor. If the proposed options do not suit you, open the "Special parameters" section and enter the data that will be most appropriate for the design of your screen. Then restart your computer for the changes you made to take effect.
For Windows 7 users, changing the font on a computer is much easier. Click the "Start" button, then select "Control Panel" in the list that opens and go to the "Display" section. In the new window, you can change the screen resolution, apply color calibration, adjust the text for the most comfortable screen reading. Select the item you need on the left side of the screen and apply the necessary changes. For example, in the "Screen Reading Ease" section, you can specify the page scale: small (100 percent), medium (125 percent), and large (150 percent). And so that you understand how the screen will change if the settings are applied, use a magnifier.
