This meant that the type maker could include small capitals, small inferiors, small inferiors, ligatures and much more into the file of type along with user controls to select the composition features.

Skia, for example, a very nice font in my opinion and I like using it. When you open MS word on your Mac and you highlight text (just about ANY text) and press command-b, the font gets bolded. Once you double tap, the word will now highlight at you will see the list of options. I would suggest doing it after each paragraph, each page, or every few pages.When typing an email on your iPad mini, you will need to double tap on the word or sentence you would like in bold, italic or underline. (Of course, you wouldn't do this after typing each sentence. In this approach, you would type your entire sentence, then double-click on the word "sat," and finally press Ctrl+I. Then they will go back and apply the formatting after they are done composing and editing the text. Many (if not most) Word users will type first, without worrying about formatting. Longtime Word users will also recognize that there is another way around this-change how you apply the italic formatting. Several readers noted that they had the same problem but were able to eliminate the problem by simply pressing the second Ctrl+I after typing the space after the word "sat." Word seems to do this if it cannot, for some reason, detect that you have typed at least a full word since turning on the italic formatting. But, when he then hits Ctrl+I at the end of the word (to turn off italic), Word sometimes thinks this is an undo request and un-italicizes the entire word "sat." This doesn't always happen, but does most times, and it really slows down Phil's typing. That's easy he hits Ctrl+I before typing the word "sat" and it duly appears in italic as he types.

He might type, "the cat sat on the mat" and want the word "sat" in italic. Phil notes that a peculiar feature of Word is its tendency to sometimes undo font changes.
