The Design View Toolbars
Designing a Form 5
The Font/Text Toolbar
Use the font/text toolbar to format text. This toolbar is only active when
a fill text, comb, comb element, circle text, or table cell object is selected.
The drop-down lists and buttons correspond to options in the Font or
Text dialog boxes (choose
Font...
or
Tex t...
in the Format menu). Each
button displays a thumbnail example of how it formats text.
Text entered in fill view displays the formatting that you specify in
design view.
Refer to online help for an explanation of each button/menu command.
See “Formatting Text” on page 5-36 for detailed information on each
formatting option
