8.5 Changing Font Characteristics

   

NExS allows you to select default font characteristics to define the appearance of the spreadsheet on the display in addition to the default type of printed output. These fonts are defined by three font characteristics: family, style, and size. The default font settings for the whole sheet are changed in the Cell Defaults dialog box from the Options menu. However, you can control the font characteristics for the individual cell or range of cells by using the Font Family, Font Style, and Font Size options from the Format menu.

To change the default font characteristics:

  1. Select Cell Defaults from the Options menu. NExS displays the Cell Defaults dialog box as shown in Figure 8.1.

  2. Click the Font Family option button and select the desired font family.

  3. Click the Font Style option button and select the desired font style.

  4. Click the Font Size option button and select the desired font style.

  5. Apply your selection by clicking OK or Apply.

To change the font characteristics for individual cells:

  1. Select a cell or range of cells to be affected.

  2. If you wish to change font family, select Font Family from the Format menu to display a cascading menu of available choices. Choose a font family or choose default to use the default setting from Cell Defaults.
