Thanks to both of you. What about my "Bold" query. Is there any way to make, say, a word or two be in Bold in the midst of a text? (All I could manage was to make the whole text be Bold. Highlighting the words I wanted Bolded didn't help -- still made it all Bold.) Thanks again!
Make sure the document format is Rich Text, not Plain Text.
When the format is Rich Text, the Format > Font menu should provide Bold and Italic styles that can be applied to a selected range of text. In fact, all the styling sub-menus should work when applied to a selection: bigger or smaller text size, fonts, etc.
