- You can change the format of the text after you add a phonetic guide to it. However, when you apply a text format such as Bold to the text, the format is applied to its phonetic guides as well. When you change the text format of the text, remove phonetic guides before you apply a format. After you apply a format to the text, add phonetic guides again.
