It is obvious that when we face any issue concerning Microsoft office programs, the answer will be clearly answered by the same program (Word, Excel, and PowerPoint….etc.); by clicking on F1at your computer or asking Microsoft Office Program Help icon which will definitely be your guide.
I will join what my colleagues answer this applicable question, and try my best to define the role of Font setting in the MS Word. So, I found that:
- When you set a default font, every new document you open will use the font settings that you selected and set as the default.
- The default font applies to new documents that are based on the active template (A file or files that contain the structure and tools for shaping such elements as the style and page layout of finished files. For example, Word templates can shape a single document, and FrontPage templates can shape an entire Web site).You can create different templates to use different default font settings.
- In MS Word, you can also quickly and easily format an entire document to give it a professional and modern look by applying a document theme. A document theme is a set of formatting choices that can include a color scheme (a set of colors), a font scheme (a set of heading and body text fonts), and an effects scheme (a set of lines and fill effects).
- Microsoft Office Word, Excel, and PowerPoint provide many built-in document themes, but you can also create your own by customizing and then saving a document theme. Document themes are also shared across Office programs so that all your Office documents can have the same, uniform look. However, unlike Word and Excel, PowerPoint includes background style customization options.
- The following Keyboard shortcuts can help MS Word user to adjust font in different ways in correspondence to the following uses:
· CTRL+SHIFT+ SPACEBAR to create a nonbreaking space
· CTRL+SHIFT+ HYPHEN to create a nonbreaking hyphen
· CTRL+SHIFT+A to format all letters as capitals, +D to double underline text, +Q to change the selection to the symbol font, and +W to underline words but no spaces.
· CTRL+SHIFT+W
· CTRL+SHIFT+ > to decrease Font size one value, and with < to increase it
· CTRL+ each of the following: B to make letter bold, I to make italic letters, and U to make letters underline
· While CTRL+ [or] to decrease or increase font size1 point, respectively.
· CTRL+D to open the Font Dialog box in order to change the formatting of characters
· CTRL+ F3 to change the case of letters
- We can apply and select the default font option that we need to use by choosing the Font tab after clicking the Font Dialog Box Launcher, and following the steps described by Mr. Khial Jan.
- To change the document theme that is applied by default in Word and Excel, select another predefined document theme or a custom document theme. Document themes that you apply affect the styles (style: A combination of formatting characteristics, such as font, font size, and indentation, that you name and store as a set. When you apply a style, all of the formatting instructions in that style are applied at one time.) that you can use in your document.
1- On the Page Layout tab, in the Themes group, click Themes
2- Do one of the following:
o To apply a predefined document theme, under Built-In, click the document theme that you want to use.
o To apply a custom document theme, under Custom, click the document theme that you want to use.
3- Custom is available only if you created one or more custom document themes. For more information about creating custom document themes.
4- If a theme that you want to use is not listed, click Browse for Themes to find it on your computer or network.
- You can customize a document theme by changing the colors, the fonts, or the line and fill effects that are used. Changes that you make to one or more of these theme components immediately affect the styles that you applied in the active document. If you want to apply these changes to new documents, you can save them as a custom document theme.
a) - Theme fonts contain a heading font and a body text font. When you click the Theme Fonts button, you see the name of the heading and body text fonts used for each theme font below the Theme Fonts name. You can change both of these fonts to create your own set of theme fonts.
b) - On the Page Layout tab, in the Themes group, click Theme Fonts. Click Create New Theme Fonts.
c) - In the Heading font and Body font boxes, select the fonts that you want to use.
d) - The sample is updated with the fonts that you select. In the Name box, type an appropriate name for the new theme fonts, and then click Save.
e) - You can save any changes that you make to the colors, fonts, or line and fill effects of a document theme as a custom document theme that you can apply to other documents. To do this by clicking on Themes, then on Save Current Theme option.
f) - Besides, In the File Name box, type an appropriate name for the theme, and then click Save. By this process, the custom document theme is saved in the Document Themes folder and is automatically added to the list of available custom theme
- Note: If you installed a foreign language pack on your English version of Microsoft Office2010 for such language class you had planned to attend, and you decided later on to remove that foreign editing language and its fonts you installed, you will find that:
= Any created documents containing text in that foreign language, the text remains in those documents by the same language, even after you remove the foreign language and fonts.
= If you create a document containing a text in that foreign language such as French – before deleting that editing language and its fonts – and manually mark the proofing language of the text in the document as French, the French proofing language setting remains even after you deletion action.
= After you delete the French as an enabled language, French continues to be listed in the Languages dialog box as a proofing language.
