The Font dialog box allows you to specify a font, font size, style, and effect to apply to text in the Text Editor dialog box.
To open the Font dialog box, select Format>Font from the Text Editor dialog box menu bar.
To quickly change just the color of selected text in the Text Editor dialog box, click the Font Color: button. This option will also give you many more color choices than those available on the Font dialog box.
Options on the Font dialog box include the following:
Field/Control | Description |
