Superscript (e.g. r 2 ) and subscript (e.g. H 2 O): These text styles are found on<br />

the next property sheet (see “Superscripts and subscripts” beginning on page<br />

67).<br />

Text color and Background color: see the next section<br />

Language: If necessary, you can also specify the language of a section of text<br />

(only required when you use more than one language in a document – see section<br />

“Setting the language” beginning on page 298).<br />

Applying text styles<br />

To apply text styles, invoke the command Format > Character and switch to the<br />

dialog’s Font property sheet.<br />

To turn on bold or italic, open the Style list (to the right of font size option) and<br />

select the desired style from the list: Regular, Italic, Bold or Bold-Italic.<br />

To apply other text styles, turn them on or off by clicking on the corresponding in<br />

the Styles section of the dialog.<br />

You are not limited to just one style; rather, you can apply combinations of the<br />

styles to text (although not all combinations are possible).<br />

Using the Formatting toolbar<br />

The most commonly used text styles can also be applied using the Formatting<br />

toolbar.<br />

Click on the icon for the text style you want to apply or remove: The B stands for<br />

bold, the I for italic, and the U for single underline.<br />

Tip: There are also keyboard shortcuts for the application of these text styles:<br />

(Ctrl)(B) for bold, (Ctrl)(I) for italic, and (Ctrl)(U) for single underline.<br />

Text color<br />

You can specify the color for both the text itself and for its background.<br />
