1. Select the cell or range that contains the text you want to format.

2. Select the Format menu and select Cells , or press Ctrl+1 . (You can also right-click the selected cells and choose Format Cells from the shortcut menu.)

3. Click the Font tab. The Font tab provides drop-down lists and check boxes for selecting the various font attributes (see Figure 9.3).
