Now, after selecting the “Home” option, you can notice that there will be an option present on the left side of the screen titled “Font Dialogue Launcher.” Then, observe the tiny square button present at the center of it. Once you select the option, Microsoft Word will let you access all the font settings operating on the Microsoft Word application.
Second Step: Customize Font Type and Size According to Your Preference
If you have adhered to the instructions given in the “First Step,” then you will enter into the Font Launcher prompt. Now, you can choose to play around with the settings and customize the settings however you wish. You can alter the settings in the way that you want the font settings to appear. Proceed to alter the settings of “size,” “style,” “type,” and “effects” up until the moment you can engender the desired effect on your font. You can fiddle around with different preferences to see which settings make the text more attractive and persuasive. You do want your texts to stand out in front of the reader. Don’t you?
Third Step: You Can Make the Changed Settings as “Default Settings”
If you are satisfied with the settings set by you and you want to set the settings as default font preference, then you can proceed to launch the application. Then, go on and select the “Home” tab and open the prompt of the “Font Dialogue Launcher.” Then, as soon as it emerges on your screen, observe the bottom left side of the prompt; there will be a button titled “Set as Default.” Once you select this option, the new settings that you have customized will become your default settings. Now, whenever you open your Microsoft application, you can type in your text in this font. The benefit you get from this is that you don’t need to change the font settings again and again, and once you discover the optimal font settings, you can proceed to set it as “default” font preference by adhering to the instructions described above.
