(Change font face and size)

In this lesson you will be learning about font faces (styles) and sizes. There are basically three different types of font styles and they are listed below:

Serif: A serif is the straight line (or feet as I call them) that appear at the bottom of letters specifically the f, l, n, h. Font styles that are serif include

Sans Serif: These are fonts without the feet at the bottom of the letters. Font styles that are sans serif include:

Script: These are fonts that look like a person's handwriting. They usually appear smaller, so it is usually necessary to use a larger font size when using script font. Font styles that are script include:

Font Size is obviously the size of the font. The large the number is the larger the size of the font. Be aware that the size varies according to the font style you have selected. So a 12 pt. in Times New Roman may not be the same as a 12 pt. in French Script.

To change font size or style, you must first select or highlight the necessary words. For font style you then select the style by using the black down arrow where is currently says Times New Roman. To select the size you use the black down arrow where is currently says 12. If you need a size that does not appear on the list, simple type in the number and press ENTER.

You may also change font size and style by clicking on FORMAT, FONT and using that screen.
