Editing Format Information

There are two ways to alter the formatting information for a formatted text file: with keyboard commands, and with the mouse.

The easiest way to add properties to your document is by using the Text Properties menu. You can get to this menu in two ways: from the Edit menu in the menu bar, or with C-mouse-2 (hold the CTRL key and press the middle mouse button).

Most of the items in the Text Properties menu lead to other submenus. These are described in the sections that follow. Some items run commands directly:

Remove Properties

Delete from the region all the text properties that the Text Properties menu works with (facemenu-remove-props).

Remove All

Delete all text properties from the region (facemenu-remove-all).

List Properties

List all the text properties of the character following point (list-text-properties-at).

Display Faces

Display a list of all the defined faces.

Display Colors

Display a list of all the defined colors.
