Changing Fonts


Changing fonts, particularly for spreadsheet titles or for headings, can make your spreadsheet more attractive and easier to read. For example, if you change the font of the spreadsheet title, you call attention to the title so that your reader immediately identifies the kind of information he or she is viewing. In Figure 9.1, you don't immediately notice the spreadsheet title, but in Figure 9.2, the title jumps out at you.

Figure 9.1. You don't notice the spreadsheet title immediately in this spreadsheet.


Figure 9.2. Because of the font difference, the spreadsheet title is immediately apparent.


To change fonts in a spreadsheet, follow these steps:

1.

Select the cell or cells for which you want to change fonts.

2.

Open the Font Face list and select the font you want to use (see Figure 9.3). Quattro Pro changes the cell's font to the one you select.

Figure 9.3. Use these lists on the Property bar to change font face and size.


3.

Open the Font Size list and select the size for the font. Quattro Pro changes the font size of the selected cell(s).

Don't get crazy changing fonts; too many different fonts on the same spreadsheet can make it harder to read, not easier. Limit the number of fonts on a spreadsheet to no more then three to maintain readability.
