The formatting toolbar is a toolbar in Microsoft
Office applications such as Microsoft Word and
Microsoft Excel that gives the user the ability to
change the formatting of selected text.
Change the font.
Change the size of the font.
Make the text bold, italics, or underline.
Change the justification.
Change the style to currency, percent, or comma.
Increase or decrease the decimal and indent.
Change the borders.
Fill (highlight) the text.
Change the font color.
If you are running an early version of Word or Excel
click View and then Toolbars and from within the
Toolbars click Formatting to enable the formatting
toolbar.
New versions of Office products no longer have
toolbars and instead are using the Ribbon and most
of what was found in the Formatting toolbar can now
be found in the Home or Write tab of the Ribbon.
