Let’s take a look.
Here we have a simple coffee menu.
Let’s improve the formatting by applying some custom fonts.
To apply a font to one or more cells, first grab the cells you’d like to format.
In this case, let’s start by applying a new font to the entire worksheet.
The font menu on the ribbon displays each font in its own typeface.
To apply a font, just click a font in the menu.
Let’s also apply the currency format to all prices.
Use the Control key to add non-adjacent cells to a selection, then apply the format.
Now, let’s apply a different font to the headings.
First, we need to select all the headings using the Control key as before.
The font controls on the ribbon have a nice feature called “live preview.”
When you move your mouse away, the preview disappears.
This makes it easy to quickly experiment with fonts without actually having to apply them.
To leave the font menu without applying a font, just press Escape.
Excel will scroll the list as needed and stop on the best match.
To find a different font, just backspace and start typing again.
Press Enter to accept the font that has been highlighted in the font menu.
To adjust font size, you have several options.
Excel also provides buttons to increase and decrease font size.
The first button increases font size, and the second button decreases font size.
