The Design View Toolbars
Designing a Form - 123
The Font/Text Toolbar
Use the font/text toolbar to format text. This toolbar is only active when
a fill text, comb, comb element, circle text, or table cell object is selected.
The drop-down lists and buttons correspond to options in the Font or
Text dialog boxes (choose
Font...
or
Text...
in the Format menu). Each
button displays a thumbnail example of how it formats text.
Text entered in fill view displays the formatting you specify in design
view.
Below is a brief explanation of each button’s function. The
