Hi. Before pressing shift-control-f, or control-d (both do the same thing), you need to select the text whose font you want to change. It's easiest when you wish to do this for the entire document: control-a. Otherwise, use the usual selection suspects, such as shift-control-paragraph for a paragraph, etc.
Once text is selected, press either shift-control-f or control-d to enter the font dialog. You land right away on a list of fonts. This list is navigable by first letter. Press the first letter or two of the desired font to go right to or close to the one you want. If all you want to do is change the font, just press enter here to exit the document and save your change. If you also want to change font size, keep focus at the desire font, then tab twice. Once again you land in a list. Arrow down to the size you want. Here again, if you want only to save the font and size changes, press enter to exit the dialog and save your changes. Color is a little more complicated, so please post again if you also want to make that change. Line spacing is done in a different dialog, which can also be explained. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Al Sorrentino Sent: Wednesday, April 06, 2016 8:03 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Changing fonts in an existing documents Hi Everyone, I am using Windows 7, Word 2010, and JAWS 13, on a laptop. I have an existing five page document in Word that I would like to change it to a different font style♣. I have placed the cursor at the beginning of the existing document and than I press control, shift and the letter F, to take me to the list of different fonts styles. Once I find the desired font, I press Enter and it takes me to the beginning of my document. However, it does not change the font in my existing document. If I follow the above procedure in a blank Word document, the new font will appear when I type something new. Am I doing something wrong, or fonts can not be changed in existing documents? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
