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.
This is a Comic Sans MS font.
This is a Times New Roman font.
This is a Tahoma font.
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).
To make your font bold press the
on the toolbar.
If you want it to be itallic press the
on the toolbar .
For underlined press the
on the toolbar.
And finally to cross out the text press 
on the toolbar.
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
Size and color
Changing fonts and there apperance isn't the only way to make your text look better. You may resize your font as well as change its color.
To change you font size open the "Size" menu in the toolbar. There you will find a range of sizes beginning with xx-small and ending with xx-large. To change the size of your font just choose one of the sizes. The resized text looks like this:
This is an xx-small size text.
This is a medium text
This is an xx-large text.
As you can see you can have a very big variety of sizes. The other option to make your text look different is changing the color or changing the text background color.
If you want to change your text color press the text color button 
. Several colors will appear in a menu. If the varaity is to small for you click More colors....
To choose the color you want to use click on it. Here's an example:
This is a font written in yellow.
This is a font written in red.
This is a font written in blue.
You may also change the text background color ussing the 
buton. Again you will find a range of colours the same ones as in the text color. Click on the color you want to choose.
This is a black font with an orange background.
This is a black font with a red background.
You may also mix the color of your text and the background color. For example:
This is a red font with a blue background.
This is a white font with a black background.
