It runs in hypercard which is a Mac only program. There's really nothing like it for Windows. Maybe Powerpoint is similar.

To change the font you can use the FONT tag. You can write FONT SIZE=4 which is one size above the default of 3. You can go up to 7 and as small as 1. Or you can say SIZE=+1 which is just one size above whatever is showing now. To specify a font you use the FACE attribute, like FACE="COMIC SANS MS". But you have to be aware that not everyone will have the same fonts as you do at home. You can specify COLOR="red" or use hexadecimal RGB where COLOR="#FF0000" where FF means turn red all the way up, the next two digits mean turn green all the way down and the last two digits mean turn blue all the way down. Not all colors are recognized by name. You can download my Palette program from my website if you want to play around with hex colors.

So you can write:

FONT SIZE=6 FACE="Times New Roman" COLOR=BLUE

Only make it a tag by putting it in angle brackets and don't forget to close it with a /FONT tag.
