How to get there

. The Text menu appears.

What it does
In this dialog box you can specify a font (typeface), point size, and style for the text element you’re defining. NotePad displays sample text to show the effects of your selection.
- Font. In this scrolling alphabetical list, NotePad displays every font installed. Click a font name to select it. If any elements in the score use fonts that were present when the document was created or edited, but are no longer installed, then the font name appears in the Font text box but not in the scrolling font list.
- Font Style. Choose an appropriate style for the font you are setting. Select Regular, italic, bold or bold italic. You can view the effects of these font style changes in the Sample text box.
- Size. In this text box, enter the size, in points (72 per inch), for the textual element you’re designing. Each time you enter a number, NotePad updates the sample text display to reflect the change.
- Sample display. This display shows how the font selections you have chosen will look.
- Script. Some fonts contain a number of different scripts in the same font. You may choose which script to use with this drop-down list.
- OK • Cancel. Click OK to confirm, or Cancel to discard, the font change you’ve specified. You return to the previous dialog box.
