10. Working with Type > The Character panel
The Character panel
The character formatting options found in the Control panel are convenient for basic formatting, but you often need more than basics. The Character panel contains a complete set of options for typographic control at the character level (meaning the controls apply to individual characters that are selected, as opposed to the paragraph level where options apply to the entire paragraph).
To open the Character panel, choose Window > Type > Character. Or click the word “Character” in the Control panel, circled below.
Task 6 Format text with the Character panel menu
The Character panel menu contains a pop-up menu of options.
1 Choose the Type tool, and set this line of text: To Town To Vote.
2 Choose the black Selection tool, which automatically selects the text.
