Format Characters Within Multiline Text
You can override the text style and apply different formatting to individual
words and characters within multiline text.
The format changes affect only the text you select; the current text style is
not changed.
You can specify a different font and text height and apply boldface, italics,
underlining, overlining, and color. You can also set an obliquing angle, change
the space between characters, and make characters wider or narrower. The
Remove Formatting option on the In-Place Text Editor shortcut menu resets
the character attributes of selected text to the current text style and text color.
The text height setting specifies the height of capitalized text. For more
information about how height is calculated, see MTEXT.
