To select a font
You can choose from among several font styles, depending on which fonts are
provided with your system. The font is the style and shape of the characters.
You can also use text formatting options to change the style of the fonts to bold,
italic, and underline, or any combination of the three. You can change the color of
your text as well, depending again on how your system is equipped and the supplies
you have installed.
Note:
1. With the text you want to change displayed on the Enter Text screen, select the
part of the text (or all of it) that you want to format.
2. Press Font on the Enter Text screen, shown in Figure 7-3 on page 7-5.

a marker, the Delete key will not function.
