Check points
- Only settings changed after selecting text are applied to the selected characters.
- Settings that affect the whole text, such as text direction and alignment, may not be shown while individual characters are selected.
- Changing too many characters individually can make the text hard to read, so narrow it down to the characters you want to emphasize.
When you are in trouble
If settings do not change, check whether the target characters are selected. If “Select text.” is shown, click the character buttons first.
