FAQ
Why does bold text still not look obvious when printed?
- First, check whether the text already appears bold in print preview.
- If the visual change is still small, increase the font size or use a darker font color as well.
- Preview the file again before printing so titles and key values are easier to distinguish.
How do I make an entire column bold?
- Tap the column label to select the entire column.
- Open the Home tab.
- Tap the Bold button to apply bold formatting to the whole column.
How do I bold table headers in batches?
- Select the full header row or a continuous header range.
- Tap the Bold button on the Home tab.
- Check whether all header text now appears in bold.
Can bold formatting be used as a filter condition?
- Bold is a display format rather than data content.
- Standard filtering usually works with text, numbers, or rule-based conditions instead of font weight.
- If you need to highlight filter targets, combine cell content, color markers, or helper columns.
How to bold text in spreadsheet files and keep the same effect on other devices?
- Bold is a common text format, so it is usually preserved when the same file is opened on another device.
