Changing the appearance of text
You can change the text in one or more cells by adjusting its font face, font size, or text color. Changing the color of text does not affect cell color or shading. Custom colors can also be used to color text.
When you choose a font or appearance option, Quattro Pro automatically displays a preview of the change using Corel RealTime Preview.
You can also change the appearance of text. For example, you can underline and italicize text, or you can set text to superscript or subscript.
For information about creating custom colors, see “Changing colors in the notebook palette.”
For more information about Corel RealTime Preview, see “Hiding notebook, spreadsheet, or screen components.”
