Changing font properties and alignment
You can change the font properties of editable labels, column headers, and data in a column to specify the font type, size and color, and the background color. You can also make the text bold, italic, or underlined. Additionally, you can change the alignment of text in a label or a column.
When you change the font properties or text alignment for a label or a column of data, the changes you make override the formats in the template or theme. To revert an element to its default font formats, select the element, choose Font, and set the properties to Auto.
How to change font properties
1 Select the label, column header, or column. A box appears around the selected element.
2 Choose Font. Font, as shown in Figure 6‑1, displays the current font property values. A value of Auto means the property uses a default value, which is specified by a theme, the template, or the software.
