7. Formatting Text

   **The easiest way to format text is to type all of the text first; then select and format the text afterwards.

~Size: This works the same way as any word processor, only you have limited choices.
~Color: This picks the color of the text
~Alignment: This is the last item on the toolbar. Left, Right, and Center.
~Font: Click the Format menu and choose a font from the Font list.
