How do I modify the level of boldness for text in MS-OFFICE 2016? I am unable to change it from what’s default when we click bold. We have three default options of font including bold, italic and underline. When I select bold it gets a certain degree of weight to the font. I want to control the level of boldness or the weight on it. Basically, for a given font style, say times new roman, I want different part of the text to look differently bold, with different widths of the letter.

But what if you want more? What if you have some specific text scattered throughout your document that you want to make bold in one action? This was the issue Colin faced. In a comment on one of my other blog posts, Colin asked if there was a way to apply bold a set of characters that all started with the same code, but had different numbers after that code (e.g. like product codes). In his example, he had a lot of instances of VA-001, VA-002, etc. with the last three digits being different each time. He’d tried the method I’d documented in my earlier post, but he could only bold part of the code, not all of it.

As with any find and replace, once you identify the pattern, it’s easy enough to test various ways of finding a match and then applying the change to it. I figured out two methods—both using wildcards. The first method assumes there are only ever three characters (not, 1, 2, 4, etc.) after the VA- part, while the second applies to any length of the ‘word’ after VA-.

For both methods, open the Find and Replace window (Ctrl+h), click More, then check the option for Use wildcards.

Method 1: Only three characters

  1. In the Find field, type: (VA-)(???)
  2. In the Replace with field, type: 12
  3. With your cursor still in the Replace with field, click Format, then Font, then select Bold. You should see Font: Bold directly below the Replace with field (see screenshot).
  4. Click Replace a few times to make sure the find/replace is doing what you expect it to. Once you are satisfied, you can click Replace All.

Notes:

  • In the Find, the code is separated into two parts, both surrounded by parentheses—the VA- part, which is a constant in what Colin had, and three question marks (???). A single question mark represents any single character, so by typing three question marks, you’re asking Word to look for ANY three characters (letters and/or numbers) after the VA- part. If you only had two characters, then you’d type two question marks; if you had 4, then you’d type four, etc.
  • In the Replace, you’re replacing what was found in both parts with itself. In other words, you’re not changing anything. What you are doing in the Replace, though, is specifying that what you find and replace with itself is now bold (step 3).

Method 2: Any number of characters

  1. In the Find field, type: (VA-)(*>)
  2. In the Replace with field, type: 12
  3. With your cursor still in the Replace with field, click Format, then Font, then select Bold. You should see Font: Bold directly below the Replace with field (see screenshot).
  4. Click Replace a few times to make sure the find/replace is doing what you expect it to. Once you are satisfied, you can click Replace All.

Notes:

  • In the Find, the code is separated into two parts, both surrounded by parentheses—the VA- part, which is a constant in what Colin had, and an asterisk followed by a right chevron arrow. The asterisk represents any number of characters from one to infinity. Because a ‘character’ in Word could be a space, you don’t want it to find EVERY character after the VA- part—you’d get the whole document! So you add the > to tell Word to stop at the end of the ‘word’ it finds. In other words, it will stop at any character that typically follows a set of adjacent characters (a ‘word’), such as a space, period, comma, colon, semicolon, etc.
  • In the Replace, you’re replacing what was found in both parts with itself. In other words, you’re not changing anything. What you are doing in the Replace, though, is specifying that what you find and replace with itself is now bold (step 3).

Bold шрифты или жирные – это не менее популярные варианты, чем курсивные или regular. Жирными шрифтами оформляют слоганы, заголовки, названия и даже небольшие блоки текста. При этом, само начертание и стиль таких шрифтов бывает разным: от рукописного до строгого и брускового. Особенность же bold варианта в том, что буквы, ввиду своей «жирности» могут сливаться, если не проводить настройку текстового блока в том же Photoshop. Поэтому жирные шрифты создаются всегда отдельно, а дизайнеры очень тщательно прорабатывают не только стиль букв.

Мы подобрали для вас 10 лучших bold шрифтов с поддержкой кириллицы, которые и читать удобно, и для разных по дизайну и тематике проектам подойдут. Некоторые шрифты напомнят мультяшную стилизацию, другие готическую, третьи же – обычны и скучны, для повседневного использования.

О том, как воспользоваться новыми шрифтами в Photoshop и как их правильно установить, можно ознакомиться в нашей Инструкции «Как установить шрифт в Photoshop»

Как сделать полужирное начертание в Ворде

Способ 1: Панель инструментов

Тип начертания текста, который большинство пользователей привыкли называть жирным, на деле является полужирным. Сделать его в Ворд можно следующим образом:

Читайте также: Как сделать текст курсивом в Word

  1. Выделите текст, который необходимо преобразовать в полужирный, или установите указатель курсора (каретку) в том месте, где вы планируете начинать его ввод.
  2. Выделить текст для его написания полужирным в Word

  3. Нажмите по кнопке «Ж» (в англоязычных версиях Microsoft Office это «B»), расположенной во вкладке «Главная», в группе инструментов «Шрифт».
  4. Кнопка создания полужирного начертания текста в Word

  5. Начертание выделенного текста станет полужирным. Если же вы только собираетесь создавать запись, таковыми будут все вводимые символы, пока вы не смените форматирование.
  6. Полужирное начертание текста в Word

    При желании для выбранного типа начертания можно задать дополнительные параметры — для этого нужно вызвать меню группы инструментов «Шрифт» (1). В открывшемся окне вы можете выбрать шрифт, начертание текста, его размер, цвет и другие опции. Все изменения отображаются в окне предварительного просмотра (3), а для их подтверждения нужно просто нажать «ОК».

    Параметры полужирного начертания текста в Microsoft Word

    Читайте также: Изменение шрифта и форматирование текста в Ворде

Способ 2: Горячие клавиши

Значительно более простой метод, посредством которого можно сделать полужирное начертание или преобразовать в него уже написанный текст, заключается в использовании комбинации клавиш. Она отобразится, если навести указатель курсора на уже знакомую нам по предыдущему способу кнопку «Ж», расположенную в группе инструментов «Шрифт» на ленте Microsoft Word.

«Ctrl+B» (b — bold)

Установите каретку в том месте документа, где планируете вводить текст в полужирном начертании, или выделите необходимый фрагмент, после чего нажмите обозначенные выше клавиши. К слову, эта комбинация работает практически во всех программах, где есть возможность хотя бы базового форматирования текста.

Отмена полужирного начертания

Если вы по ошибке включили полужирное начертания или сделали таковым не тот фрагмент текста, просто выделите его повторно и нажмите кнопку «Ж» на панели инструментов или «Ctrl+B» на клавиатуре.

В качестве более жесткой альтернативы, убирающей не только обозначенный вариант написания, но и форматирование текста (тип шрифта, его размер, стиль), можно использовать обозначенную на изображении ниже кнопку «Очистить все форматирование» — буква «А» с ластиком.

Formatting Text in Word

One way to change the appearance of text in a document is by changing its font type. A font is a set of letters, numbers, and punctuation symbols designed around a shared appearance. A font will have variations for size and styles, such as bold and italics.

Change the Font

Changing a font itself will have the greatest effect on the appearance of text.

  1. Select the text you want to change.
  2. Click the Font list arrow on the Home tab.
  3. You can also click the Font list arrow on the Mini Toolbar that appears when text is selected.

  4. Select a new font from the list.
  5. Change the Font

The text is now set in the selected font.

When changing fonts, be sure to choose the right font for the tone of your document. Don’t use casual script fonts in a professional document, and also avoid using too many fonts at once.

Font Type Examples Description
Serif Times New Roman, Garamond, Cambria, Georgia, Palatino Serifs are small details at the ends of some letter strokes, meant to improve legibility. Suitable for both header and body text.
Sans Serif Arial, Calibri, Helvetica, Verdana, Trebuchet MS Sans serif fonts lack the small details at ends of letter strokes, leading to a plainer look. Suitable for both header and body text.
Script Brush Script, Zapfino, Lucida Handwriting These fonts are meant to mimic handwriting, either calligraphic or casual. Useful in very specific designs, but unsuitable for body text and most headers.
Monospace Courier New, Consolas, American Typewriter All letters and symbols use the exact same amount of space. Useful when displaying computer code, or when precise horizontal alignment between lines is important.

Change the Font Size

Changing the font size helps differentiate between titles, headers, and body text.

  1. Select the text.
  2. Click the Font Size list arrow on the Home tab.
  3. Select a font size.
  4. Change the Font Size

The font size changes.

Click the Increase Font Size or Decrease Font Size buttons to increase or decrease by one point at a time.

Font size is measured in points (pt) that are 1/72 of an inch. The larger the number of points, the larger the font.

Change the Font Color

You may need to change font color to make text stand out, comply with brand standards, or add visual appeal.

  1. Select the text you want to change.
  2. Click the Font Color list arrow.

    You can also click the Font Color list arrow on the Mini Toolbar.

  3. Select a new color.

    If you don’t like any of the available theme colors, select More Colors to display the Colors dialog box.

    Change the Font Color

Apply Bold, Italic, or an Underline

In addition to changing font type, size, and color, you can also enhance the text further by using other features in the Font group like bold, italic, or underline.

  1. Select the text you want to change.
  2. Select Bold, Italics, or Underline.

    Shortcuts:

    • To bold: Ctrl + B
    • To italicize: Ctrl + I
    • To underline: Ctrl + U

    Apply Bold, Italic, or an Underline

The effect is applied.

Change the Case

If you want to change the case of a block of text, you don’t need to retype the whole thing. You can easily change the case of selected text with the Change Case menu.

  1. With the text selected, click the Change Case button.
  2. Select a case option:
    • Sentence case
    • lowercase
    • UPPERCASE
    • Capitalize Each Word
    • tOGGLE cASE

    Change the Case

Clear Formatting

If you change your mind and want to remove all formatting from text, you can easily clear all formatting at once.

  1. With the text selected, click Clear All Formatting.
  2. Clear Formatting

The extra formatting is removed, and the text is reset to the default style.
