PowerPoint7 PowerPoint: Designing the Look of Your Presentation Part (7)Using the Formatting Toolbar

After you’ve become comfortable working with the Format menu, and particularly the Format menu’s Font command and Bullets And Numbering command, you’ll want to explore the tools provided by the Formatting toolbar.

NOTE:

Typically the Formatting toolbar is positioned just below the Menu bar.

The Formatting toolbar provides several boxes and numerous buttons you can use to quickly choose some formatting option. For example, if you select some text and click the button with the large “B” on it, you boldface the selected text.

Other Formatting toolbar buttons let you make further specifications, control text alignment, change text into a bulleted or numbered list, and so forth.

You won’t have any problem figuring out what various buttons do by experimenting to see their effects. If you make a mistake or use a button that has an effect you don’t want to keep, simply click the Undo button, which appears on the Standard toolbar.
