Use the Control panel to change the appearance of text. When text is selected or when the insertion point is placed in
text, the Control panel displays either the character formatting controls or the paragraph formatting controls, or a
combination of both, depending on your monitor resolution. These same text formatting controls appear in the
Character panel and Paragraph panel. You can also use the Character panel and Paragraphs panel to change the
appearance of text.

Use the Character panel and Paragraphs panel to change the appearance of text. In InDesign, you can also use the
Control panel to format text. The Control panel is not available in InCopy.
Note the following methods of formatting text:
• To format characters, you can use the Type tool
to select characters, or you can click to place the insertion point,
select a formatting option, and then begin typing.
• To format paragraphs, you don’t need to select an entire paragraph—selecting any word or character, or placing the
insertion point in a paragraph will do. You can also select text in a range of paragraphs.
