Text formatting determines how your text will look in your document. Making your text look better is very easy using the FCKeditor. We will start the guide through the text formatting with fonts.

Fonts

Fonts are kinds of style of writing.They determine how the letters of your text look like. The most common used fonts are "Times New Roman" and "Arial". They are used in most documents created in the world.You may say that they are very official fonts used in formal documents. If you wish to use a different font you are of course more than welcome to do so. To choose a font you want to type in access the font menu in your toolbar and click on the font you decided to use.

Bold, itallic, underlined

You may also arrange the way you font looks like by choosing whether the font should be bold, itallic, underlined or crossed out (like this).

If you want it to be itallic press the "I" on the toolbar. For underlined press the "U" and finally to cross out the text press "ABC". If you choose any of this options you will learn that the utton on the toolbar highlight with a blue square. Of course you can mix this options as much as you want.

You can have an bold itallic text: Hello User.'

An underlined crossed out text: Hello User

A bold underlined text:Hello User

Notice that if you don't switch the underline option off the underline will go between your blank e.g. The underline does't vanish in the gaps!!!

The same thing happend when you use the cross-out function
