The Font group provides unlimited customization of text. It allows users to change the font or style of the text, the size of the text, provide text emphasis, and even change the colors.

Beginning in the upper left-hand corner, the Font Selection Box and Text Size boxes allow customizations of hundreds of font designs and text sizes. The capital “A” button on the right allows the user to gradually increase the text size with the smaller capital “A” button next to it on the right decreases the text size. The lower row of the Font group contains Bold , Italics , and Underline (without underline options for line thickness). To the right of the Underline, the button is the border settings button . This button allows the user to control border lines around highlighted cells. Users can select top, left, right, bottom, or all borders to their selected cells. To the right of the border settings are the paint can icon . The painted icon allows the user to color a cell. Finally, to the right of the paint can menu is an icon of the letter “A” with a line underneath . This control allows the user to change the color of any selected text with an almost infinite number of color options. By clicking on the arrow pointing down and to the right in the Font group, an expanded menu with even more options will launch, allowing the user with many more text customization options, as well as the option to set default text options and effects.
