You can change from lowercase to uppercase or vice versa, toggle tHe CaSe, or select other common capitalizations.Ĭhanging the font color is as simple as changing the font. The uppercase A and lowercase A that are situated side by side ( ) allow you to change the case of selected text. This makes creating footnotes easier than it had been with previous versions of Word. X 2 is just the opposite, putting smaller text above the text line. Next to the strike-through command, you'll see "X 2." This simply puts smaller text below the text line of the normal text. When clicking on this button, it will put a line through any text you have selected. Next to the commands for boldface, italics, and underlining, you'll see an "abc" with a line through it.
To add italics, boldface, or underlining to any portion of a text within an email, select the desired text, then click the appropriate button (B for boldfaced, I for italic, or U for underline.) These buttons are located directly below the font type window. Italics are represented by an uppercase, italicized I, and underline by an uppercase U with a line under it. The boldface command in Outlook 2013 is represented by an uppercase, boldfaced B. You may want to select text to boldface, italicize, or underline a section of text. On the other hand, clicking the smaller A will decrease the font size by one for each time it's clicked. Pushing the larger A will increase your font size by one for each time it's clicked. You can also use the two uppercase A's beside the font size box to change the size of fonts you're currently using. You can change an entire email, or just a portion - the choice is yours. To change the size of the font, simply select the text you want to change, then select the new font size. Once again, you can use the down arrow key to either enlarge or reduce the font size.
Using the picture above, the font size is 11. Next to the type of font is a box that states the size of font currently being used. Perhaps we want Verdana or Times New Roman. Now we can use the drop-down menu to change the type of font.
