Multiple font changes without repeatedly opening menu
I often want to UNDERLINE, BOLD AND ITALICIZE the same word or phrase in either emails or Page documents. How can you keep the "FONT" menu open so that you can do them all at once? Is that possible? At present I have to open the font menu repeatedly for each change. Have iMAC 21.5 w/ OS X Yosemite (10.10.5). Sorry; new to MAC's. Thank you for any help.
