Formatting Text and Paragraphs

Note: If you have too many fonts to wade through to find the few you use often, you

can organize them into font collections by clicking the Add (+) button to create a font

collection, and then dragging a typeface into the new collection. Also, if you need to

switch fonts often, you can leave the Font panel open. If it takes up too much space

on your screen, you can shrink it by dragging its resize control (the bottom-right

corner of the panel), so that only the font families and typefaces in your selected font

collection are visible. To close it, choose Format > Font > Hide Fonts, or click the Fonts

button again.
