Working with Text Boxes 907


The Sample pane shows the formatting applied to the selection. As you make changes
to settings in the dialog box, the sample changes to show how the selection will look if
you click Apply or OK. (Clicking Apply implements the current settings without closing
the dialog box; clicking OK implements the changes and closes the dialog box.)


  1. In the Effects section, select the Small caps check box. Then click OK.


Tip You can use the commands in the Format group on the Home tab to change the
font style of text, but to apply font effects, you have to use the commands in the Font
dialog box. If you want to apply several attributes to the same text, it is often quicker
to open the dialog box and apply them all from there.


  1. In the Font group, click the Character Spacing button and then, in the Character
    Spacing list, click Very Loose.
    Tip To copy the formatting of one word or phrase to another, select the text whose
    formatting you want to copy, click the Format Painter button on the Standard toolbar,
    and then select the text onto which you want to “paint” the formatting.

  2. Click outside the text box.


The text box handles disappear.
