Text formatting icons

You can emphasize a piece of text -- a word, phrase, or paragraph -- by formatting it. Highlight the text you want to emphasize and then click one of the icons above the box where you enter the content. You can also choose formatting options before you begin typing. For example, if you click Bold, then begin typing, your type will appear bolded. The formatting icons are described in the following table.

To reformat text, highlight the text and click the icon for the type of formatting you want to change. To use more than one format for the same piece of text, highlight the text and click multiple formatting icons in succession.
