How to Apply Text Styles

Text styles such as bold, underline, italic, text color or background color can be applied to eligible survey elements. Some small mobile browsers may not support the toolbar feature. For the best experience, use a desktop or laptop computer.

To apply text styles:

  1. Click on a survey title, a page title, a question title, a choice, a row, a column, or a message (under "Buttons & Messages"). A toolbar with style icons will appear if the element is eligible. Some icons are hidden by default, and will appear after you click on the
    icon in the toolbar. Some elements may only come with a subset of the full icon list.
