That ’ll open what ’s called the “ Font Dialog Box Launcher . ” Choose your font from the menu , bump off “ Set As Default ” in the lower - leave corner , and you ’ll be given the selection to typeset the default for that document only , or for all text file that use the default template . Hit “ all right ” twice , and you ( and your nonpayment baptismal font ) are all set .
If you ’re using a macOS machine , spread a novel Word document , look for “ Format ” in the menu bar at the very top of your screen , and tick “ Font ” from the dropdown carte du jour . you’re able to also set up the box by holding down the “ Command ” and “ D ” keys . Then , pick your favorite baptismal font , attain “ Default ” in the lower - leave corner , and confirm your choice .
