We’re all looking for ways to make our lives easier and, though I can’t kick unnecessary calls from your calendar or whip up a midweek meal whilst you put your feet up, I can tell you about a Microsoft update that might just save you some time – the Microsoft Modern Font Picker.

Let’s set the scene…

We’ve all been there. You’re creating a project in a Microsoft program and need to change the font. You highlight the relevant text, move your mouse to the font drop down menu and start the never ending scroll down an ever-growing list of fonts to find the one you need. Or, if you’re a little savvy, you start to type in the font name, inevitably make a typo and lose the font in the list. This has been me, hundreds of times! Fear not fellow scrollers and typers, our calls for help have been answered!

Microsoft have recently updated their font interface in the online Office app and have included lots of new features to streamline working with fonts. Here’s a brief list of Microsoft’s new-look Modern Font Picker features and a few tips on how to use them to boost productivity and save enough time for a cuppa.
