Basic Editing

Text size, font and spacing

If you'd like to change the font or the text size quickly, without opening the 'Document styles' window, you can do so by using the drop-down menus in the toolbar.
Select the text you'd like to change and click either the font menu, which lists Verdana, or the text-size drop-down menu, shown as 10pt. Choose a new font or text size, and the changes are applied to the text you selected in the doc.

Spellcheck

The spell-check icon is located on the right side of your toolbar. It's labeled with 'abc' and a check mark. You can use spell check to find misspelled words in your docs and to see suggested spellings. You can also turn off spell check. Just follow the instructions below:

1. To check spelling in your doc, click the 'abc' icon or 'Check spelling' from the Tools drop-down menu. All misspelled words on the page are highlighted yellow.
2. To see suggested spellings, click a highlighted word. A window pops up with suggestions.
3. Select a suggested word if you'd like to replace it with the current word.

To stop checking for misspelled words, click the 'abc' icon. This icon acts like a toggle to turn spell check on and off.

Word Counts
