In simple cases, such as changing the size or color of text, there will often be a specificmenu item for the purpose. But in general you can use the Option Inspector that is builtinto the front end. This is typically accessed using the Option Inspector menu item in theFormat menu.† Change settings for specific options with menus.† Look at and modify all options with the Option Inspector.† Edit the textual form of the expression corresponding to the cell.† Change the settings for all cells with a particular style.Ways to manipulate cells in the front end.Sometimes you will want just to change the options associated with a specific cell. But oftenyou may want to change the options associated with all cells in your notebook that have aparticular style. You can do this by using the Edit Stylesheet command in the front end tocreate a custom stylesheet associated with your notebook. Then use the controls in thestylesheet to create a cell corresponding to the style you want to change and modify theoptions for that cell.CellPrint@Cell@…DDCellPrint@8Cell@…D,Cell@…D,…
