Apply the same font to multiple controls
When designing a form, you can specify the fonts that appear inside the controls on a form. If you specify font and formatting options for one control on a form, you can follow these steps to quickly apply that font to some or all of the remaining controls.
- Click the control that contains the font that you want to copy.
- On the Format menu, do one of the following:
- To apply the font only to other controls of the same type, click Apply Font to All ControlType Controls.
- To apply the font to all of the controls on the form, click Apply Font to All Controls.
- If you want to verify the changes by displaying sample text in the controls, click Sample Data on the View menu.
TipYou can also specify font and formatting options for specific types of controls in a view. For example, you can specify that rich text boxes use 10 point Arial and that list box controls use 8 point Arial. To specify options for controls in a view, follow these steps:
- On the View menu, click Manage Views.
- In the Views task pane, click the view, and then click View Properties.
- Click the Text Settings tab in the View Properties dialog box, and then select the options that you want.
