Tip:
You can also highlight text and set other properties by using the Background color option in the Borders and Shading dialog box. For more information, see Set border, padding, and background properties.

In Design view or Code view, in your web page, select the text that you want to format.

On the Format menu, click Font.

In the Font dialog box, on the Font tab, set the properties you want and then click OK.

Tip:
To set additional font properties for all text in a page, create a style that uses the BODY element for its selector, and then set the font-based CSS properties you want for that style. For more information, see Create a style.

In Design view, in your web page, select the text from which you want to remove formatting.

On the Format menu, click Remove Formatting.

Note:
The Remove Formatting command doesn't affect formatting that's caused by a style that has an element selector.
