JEB Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hi,Does anybody know of any quick method of displaying the various text styles temporally to facilitate selection?CheersJohnWhat I would like is to be able to run through them in sequence rather than have to select one at a time. Quote
cead Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hello John, Is this perhaps what you mean? AMP Font Viewer Regards, Frans Quote
JEB Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Frans,Thanks for getting back so promptly. I will probably have to resort to something like that, though a Mac / PC version ideally as I run Windows as an app on my Mac.What I was hoping for was that there might have been some method of using keyboard options while displaying text in PTE O&A without having to go through the process of selecting individual styles independently.Perhaps if others would also find it useful it could be something that Igor could introduce in the future?RegardsJohn Quote
PGA Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 What I do is open a new Word document, key in some sample text, select all of it and then run the cursor down the list of fonts observing what each looks like. Quote
JEB Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Posted May 28, 2015 Hi Peter,That's pretty well what I do. Its just that it would be nice to do it within PTE.John Quote

davegee Posted May 28, 2015 Report Posted May 28, 2015 In PTE highlight the Font in O&A/Properties.With one finger on the Down Arrow and another on the Enter Button you can alternately hit Down Arrow, Enter, Down Arrow, Enter etc and scroll though the Font Types. The Text in the O&A screen will show a preview of the Selected Font.It is not elegant but it works.DG Quote
JEB Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Posted May 29, 2015 Hi Dave,As you say not elegant but better than nothing. I thought there must be some way of doing this. Thanke very much.CheersJohn Quote
davegee Posted May 29, 2015 Report Posted May 29, 2015 This was mentioned here a long time ago.It needed to be mentioned again, perhaps.DG Quote
JEB Posted May 29, 2015 Author Report Posted May 29, 2015 It wouldn't surprise me if it was i who asked it then.........but I'm admitting to nothing!!!!John Quote
