Fonts in Word

[NodaProductions]

Version: 2008

Are there no short cuts to switching fonts in Mac word? Or do I have to plod all the way back to FORMAT, then FONTS to shift from italics back to normal?

 

[Michel Bintener]

The keyboard shortcuts are largely the same on the Mac, with the minor
difference that instead of holding down the Ctrl key, as you would on a PC,
you have to hold down the Cmd key, i.e. the key next to the space bar with
an Apple or a propeller symbol on it. Cmd+i will italicise a selection,
Cmd+u will underline it, etc.

 

[CyberTaz]

Many formatting effects are available on the Formatting Toolbar & even more
can be found in the Formatting Palette of the Toolbox.

As Michel pointed out there are also a number of keyboard shortcuts, some of
which he mentioned in his reply. For more see Word Help on the topic:

Word keyboard shortcuts

Beyond that you can also assign/reassign keystrokes of your choice for
nearly any command in the program.
