Dialog Box Options

Font

Lists all the fonts that you have installed for Windows. When the box first appears, the font already in use for the selected element is highlighted.

Font Style

Lists four additional attributes that you can assign to the font selected:

• Regular — Standard, unmodified style
  
  
• Bold — Boldface
  
  
• Italic — Italic
  
  
• Bold Italic — Bold Italic

Size

Lists common point sizes for the highlighted font. When the box first appears, the point size for the font already in use for the selected element is highlighted, and the highlighted point size appears in the edit box at the top.

You can select directly from the list or type the new point size in the edit box at the top (if you know that you have additional sizes installed for the currently selected printer or if you are using scalable type).

Effects

Lists two additional options that you can use for highlighting the selected font.

• Strikeout — Prints the strikeout character across the font
  
  
• Underline — Underlines the font

  You may select as many of the Effects as you wish.

Script

OK
