Selecting fonts and colors from the Ribbon
You can change the font, font size, font style, and font color using the com- mand buttons in the Font group on the Home tab of the Ribbon. The only aspects you can’t change or assign are the type of the underlining (besides single or double) and special font styles including strikethrough, super- script, and subscript.
To change the font with the command buttons in the Font group on the Ribbon’s Home tab, select the cell, cell range, or nonadjacent selection to which you want to assign the new font, size, style, or color, and then do one of the following:
✦ To assign a new font to the selection, click the Font drop-down button and then select the font from the drop-down list.
✦ To assign a new point size to the selection, click the Font Size drop- down button and then select the size from the drop-down list. (You can also do this by clicking the Font text box, typing the point size, and pressing Enter.)
✦ To increase the font size a single point at a time, click the Increase Font Size button.
✦ To decrease the font size a single point at a time, click the Decrease Font Size button.
