How to Put Color in a Font

WordPad is the Windows 7 native text-editing program. While many people think of Microsoft Word as their first choice for writing or editing text, WordPad is a free alternative that comes standard on every copy of Windows. WordPad allows users to do many of the same things they can on Microsoft Word, from changing the size of the words, changing fonts and making the words different colors. With WordPad, it is possible to combine these features, so that you may color a font, for example.

Instructions

1. Click the Windows orb in the task bar.

2. Type "WordPad" into the search bar of the Start menu. Click the WordPad icon when the search has concluded.

3. Click the drop-down font menu located directly underneath the "Home" menu at the top of WordPad. Select your font from the list provided.

4. Click the icon of the "A" with the black bar under it to change the color of your selected font. Select a color from the drop-down menu.

5. Type into WordPad. Your text is now the font and color you have selected.
