Format Objects dialog box: Font tab

Before you begin

When accessed from the Conditional Formatting dialog box, this dialog box is named Formatting rather than Format Objects.

The font settings control how the font is displayed for the selected object. You can select the font name, script, and size, and whether the font is bolded, underlined, italicized, and whether to apply color or strike out the text. To specify a font size that is not listed, type the number in theSizefield.

The Font tab is available for the following:

• Grid/Graph title bars
