Join Jess Stratton for an in-depth discussion in this video Formatting text, part of Google Docs Essential Training.
- I'd started adding text to my document.…I just typed a few things so there would…be some text here to work with.…But let's start making it look pretty.…The first thing that we might want to do…is change the font.…To work with a group of text click and drag with your mouse…to highlight the entire block of text.…From here we can change the font…by clicking on the Font menu…right on the toolbar itself.…Google Docs gives us some to work with,…but we can easily add a lot more.…
It's called Google Fonts and it's just a click away.…Click More Fonts at the bottom of the screen…and from here you can sort through a much larger list…of fonts to choose from and add to your document.…I'm gonna choose Roboto,…it'll be added to my list of fonts and I can click OK.…It's going to change that font…and now Roboto is going to show up…in my font list when I open a new document.…
In fact, I'm gonna go ahead and highlight…and change the rest of this to Roboto.…From here I can click and drag with my mouse…and click Bold or Italicize and I can click to toggle…
