When you create a new document in Excel, all cells on the worksheet are set to a standard font and formatting options. To improve the appearance of tables in the book and for a better perception of information, these settings can be changed using special tools.
To change the font of one or several cells in Excel, you must first select them. Then you can use several methods.
1 way
On the toolbar (tab "Home") there is a section called "Font".
Here are the tools to change:
1) The name of the font (typeface). The font is selected from the drop-down list.
By hovering over a particular font, you can see how the appearance of the text in the selected cell changes.
2) The font size can be increased or decreased. To do this, open the list with font sizes (minimum - 8, maximum - 72) and select the desired value.
If you need to specify a font whose size is less than 8 or greater than 72, then you can enter the desired value in a special field.
There are also "Increase Font" and "Decrease Font" buttons to increase and decrease the font size.
3) Font color. To access the list of colors, you need to click on the small arrow next to the underlined letter A.
If you want a complete palette, then select "More Colors".
4) Typeface - bold, italic, or underlined.
For bold type, press "Ж" or use the key combination "Ctrl" + "B".
To apply italics, click on "K" or use the key combination "Ctrl" + "I".
To underline the contents of a cell, press "H" or use the key combination "Ctrl" + "U".
You can also double underline. To do this, click on the arrow next to the "H" button and select "Double underline" in the drop-down list.
You can assign several types of faces at once. For example, bold and italic.
2 way
Right-click on the desired cell (if it is a range, then on any cell in the range) and select Format Cells from the context menu.
A dialog box will open in which you need to select the "Font" tab.
Here you can select all the necessary formatting options - font name, style, color, size, modification.
The Sample box will display the appearance of the cell after formatting has been applied.
To save the changes, click on the "OK" button.
