Changing font properties
You can change the font properties of editable labels, column headers, and data in a column. The properties you can set include the font, font size and color, and the background color, and you can make the text bold, italic, or underlined.
How to change font properties
1 Select the label, column header, or column. A box appears around the selected element.
2 Choose Font. Font, as shown in Figure 2‑5, displays the current font property values. A value of Auto means the property uses a default value, which is specified by a theme, the template, or the software.
