Cassalong Hopidy Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 This may be a poor question, but how do you change font, font size and style, use bold, italics, etc. when posting on the Wire? I have tried to use them and get what appear to be programming editorials in the text--but they appear in the post just that way and the commands they represent (e.g. to italicize the name of a book) are not executed. Thanks for the help. Cassalong Hopidy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Jim Henry, SASS #20616 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 First, type out your message. Then, using the cursor, "paint" the area you want to format. Then, click on the formatting button you want to use (bold, underline, etc). Use the same process when you want to change the color of what you've highlighted, or the font style, or the size. If you want to apply multiple formats to the same text, you must highlight it each time (but don't highlight the format commands) before you apply the format. This should be blue, bold, Times Roman, in a medium size. Regards, TJH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassalong Hopidy Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Well Texas JimIf I can follow your kind directions, there should be examples of some of the font changes in this reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cassalong Hopidy Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 Hope this is blue, bold and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 One more little tip. If you want to change the text uniformly in your entire message, rather than highlighting, you can press the Ctrl and A keys. That will select all of the text at once.
