Change the Font Type & Size

Following is a screenshot to show you a few font related buttons.

Step 1 − Select the portion of text the font of which needs to be changed and click the Home tab. Now click the Font Type button to list down all the fonts available as shown below.

Step 2 −

• Try to move the mouse pointer over the listed fonts. You will see that the text font changes when you move the mouse pointer over different fonts. 
• You can use the Font Scroll Bar to display more fonts available. 
• Finally select a desired font by clicking over the font name in the list. 
• We have selected MV Boli as the font for our sample text.

Step 3 − Similar way, to change the font size, click over the Font Size button which will display a font size list.You will use the same procedure to select a desired font size that you have used while selecting a font type.

Use Shrink and Grow Buttons

You can use a quick way to reduce or enlarge the font size. As shown in the first screenshot, the Shrink Font button can be used to reduce the font size whereas the Grow Font button can be used to enlarge the font size.

Try to click either of these two buttons and you will see the effect. You can click a single button multiple times to apply the effect. Each time you click either of the buttons, it will enlarge or reduce the font size by 1 point.
