Let's look at how we change the font of a sentence. So right now we've got a sentence. It says, "The girl kicked the ball." To change the font of the sentence, I'm gonna click and drag to select it all the way across. We can tell it's selected because the background has changed colour. And then on my word processor, up at the top menu, one of these choices here, if I put my mouse over it, it says Font. So this is my Font menu, and to open it, I can use the down arrow here. You can see the Font menu is quite big. There are lots of choices, and sometimes you might need to use the scroll bar on the side or the scroll wheel on the mouse to pull the menu up and down to have a look at all of the choices here. There quite a lot of them. So I'm going to make my choice here, and when I click on it, it will change the font of the sentence. There, just like that. Now, if I change my mind and I want a different font, I can do this in two ways. The first way I can do this is I can use the Undo button up here. We've used Undo before to fix mistakes and go back one step. So because applying the font, choosing the font was the last thing I did, if I use Undo, it will take me back to the font I had before. So Undo can be used to change a font. Another way is if you've got a font already and you change your mind and you decide, "Oh, I don't want that font anymore," you can use the Font menu to select a different font. So you need to make sure your sentence is still highlighted. You might have clicked away. If it's not highlighted, you need to first highlight your sentence. So click and drag over the sentence again, go up to the Font menu, and then make your new selection. Oh, let's look at this one here. There we go. That is how you change your font style.
