Formatting text with bold, italic and underline

Applying simple formatting to text, such as Bold and Italic is achieved easily by the following:

1. Select the relevant text to be formatted.

2. Notice that the mini toolbar appears dimly next to the mouse cursor. Move the cursor towards it, and it will become active. (In case the mini toolbar doesn’t appear, bring it by right clicking inside the selected area).

3. Click the “B” button, to make the selected are bold. Clicking this button when the text is already bold, will “Un-bold” it, bringing it back to normal.

4. The same applies to the Italic formatting, using the “I” button on the mini toolbar.


To apply the underline effect do as follows:

1. Select the desired text.

2. Click on the “U” button in the ribbon. (if it doesn’t exist, click the “Home” tab on the ribbon, and you will find it in the “Font” group).
