Friends, I want to change the font properties for the text in the Sticky Notes. I am using Windows7 on my computer. My problem is that, I don’t know the way to do this. If you know that how can I change the font properties for this then please share that with us. I searched on google for this but all the answer that I got from here was not helpful for me.

I don’t know the exact way to do this but I know one trick by which you will be able to do this. Just open any other application in your computer and type in your desired font. Copy and paste that to Sticky Notes. Now when you will type then it will be typed in the same font that you have pasted in it. I have tried it on one of my friends computer and this did the worked for him. Try it and I am sure that it will work.

There are many shortcuts in Windows 7 that can be used to format the text. I am listing the shortcuts along with the effect that they are going to make on the test. Highlight the text for which you want to change the font and press the corresponding button.

Ctrl+B : Bold text
Ctrl+I : Italic text
Ctrl+U : Underlined text
Ctrl+T : Strikethrough
Ctrl+Shift+L : Bulleted list
Ctrl+Shift + > : Increased text size
Ctrl+Shift + < : Decreased text size
