Topic font

You can set the font face and font attributes using the commands on the Format tab, in the Font group. In addition, you can change the capitalization style for topics using commands in the Font dialog. The Capitalization settings are style settings, and so, they apply to all new topics you create. You can set these options in Map View or in Outline View.

Change the topic font

Select the topic (s).
On the Home tab or Format tab, in the Formatting group use the commands to change the topic font and color.

Font colors can be used as map markers to classify topics on your map (for example a topic in green text means "Michael's task"). See Code topics with markers for more information on using markers.

Change topic text capitalization

Select a topic.

Selected topic	Changes capitalization for
Central Topic	Central topic only
Main Topic	All Main Topics only
Callout Topic	All callout topics only
Floating Topic	All floating topics
Subtopic, subtopic of floating topic, subtopic of callout	All subtopics at this level and their subtopics

On the Home or Format tab, click the Formatting dialog launcher.
On the Capitalization tab, choose the capitalization style for topics.
Use the Style button if you wish to:

Save as New Style Default: Save all the topic's format settings as the automatic style for topics of the same type at this level. The settings become part of the current map's style. All existing topics at this level assume these attributes (unless they have been individually formatted), as will any new topics you create. You can save these new settings as a Map Style that you can re-use on other maps. You can see these new attributes in the Modify Style view.
Reset to Style Default: Reset the topic to the automatic formatting of the current style.

You can apply different styles of capitalization to various subtopic levels. For example, if the capitalization was already set for subtopics at level 4 and beyond, setting the capitalization with a level 2 subtopic selected will only affect levels 2 and 3. The capitalization for level 4 and beyond remains unchanged.
