(This, by the way, is how Microsoft Word controls the default text formatting for things like page numbers and footnotes. If you have a specific font that you want to use for most of your documents, you can change that here. The fundamental unit of a Word document is a paragraph, and so paragraph.
Finally, I created an entirely new document based on the default normal template, and created a new document with as many of the styles as I could (Heading 1, 2 and 3, Normal, and Body Text).
For example, you can use single backticks for inline-code formatting for a single phrase, or triple-ticks for code-fenced formatting. I created a new document based on the template both the Body Text and Normal text was still italicized. Underline Style/Color - Unlike the Underline button (or CTRL-U on the keyboard), these dropdowns will enable you to choose several underline styles, such as double underline, underline words only (not spaces), dashed, dotted, or wavy underlines, as well as choose another color for the underlining. Option 1: Use code-styling to surround the placeholder word or the encompassing phrase.For information about referring to UI elements, see Formatting text in instructions. Follow these formatting conventions for text elements commonly used in content for developers. Font Color - Again, this is also accessible via Microsoft Word's standard Formatting toolbar (look for the button with a capital A underlined in red). Consistent text formatting helps readers locate and interpret information.Font/Font Style/Size - While it's easier to change fonts directly on the Formatting toolbar dropdown, this method allows you to visually "test" several fonts before committing with the OK button (see the preview screen at the bottom of the box?).For the purposes of this post, let's go through what's available on the Font tab within Microsoft Word.
