The font is the typestyle of the words you are typing.  There are hundreds of fonts to choose from and a large variety of type sizes to choose. 

Most papers and letters are written in a font that is simple to read and in a font size between 9 and 12 points. 

You can see what a font or font size will look like by selecting a section of your text (hold down the left mouse key and scroll over the section of text) and then choosing different options from the lists in the bar above. 

You can also change the colour of your text, highlight sections of your text, or make words appear in bold font, in italics or underlined.  Select the text first and then choose your option.
