You can change the appearance of text in AppleWorks documents by using different fonts, sizes, styles (such as bold or italic), and colors.

To change the appearance of text in a word-processing document:

1	Select the text you want to change, or click with the I-beam pointer where you want to type new text.
2	Choose Font, Size, Style, or Text Color from the Text menu, and choose one or more options from the submenu. Or, to change the text's font or size, choose from the pop-up menus in the text ruler.
	Tip: You can customize the Button Bar to display text-formatting buttons.

To change the appearance of text in document types other than word processing:

1	Select the text you want to change, or click with the I-beam pointer where you want to type new text.
2	Choose Font, Size, Style, or Text Color from the Format menu, and choose one or more options from the submenu.
	Tip: You can customize the Button Bar to display text-formatting buttons.

Tip: In addition to the fonts installed with AppleWorks 6, the AppleWorks 6 CD contains a folder of additional fonts. To use any of these fonts, quit all open programs and drag the fonts from the AppleWorks 6 CD to the Fonts folder within the System Folder on your computer.
