Note

Although you can change text attributes for an entire cell or range of cells, Google Spreadsheets doesn't let you change attributes for selected characters within a cell.


You apply these formatting attributes to all the text (numbers or letters) within a selected cell or range of cells. Just follow these steps:

1.

Select the Format tab.

2.

Select a cell or range of cells.

3.

Click the appropriate format buttonBold, Italic, Underline, or Text Color.

The formatting you select is now applied to the selected cell(s).

If you choose to change the text color, you have a choice of 40 different colors. When you click the Text Color button, a drop-down color menu appears, as shown in Figure 24. Click the color you want, and it's applied to all the text in the selected cell(s).
