The operations in this part of the manual explain how to change fonts and character styles. These characteristics are called ”character attributes”. It also tells you how to assign such text effects as underlining, shading, and box printing to text.
Important!
•Character attributes you specify affect printed text only. The characters on the display do not change.
•Remember that character attributes are assigned to specific characters. Whenever you replace a character with another one, the new character also picks up the attributes of the original character.
•Text effects are applied to both displayed text and printed text.
