where is boldface and italics on note 8

[annamagnani]

Hi i think i'm using the predictive keyboard on note 8. i don't see the symbols for boldface italics etc. How do i use those while typing an email for exmaple?

i imagine one can set that up somewhere on the same screen as the keyboard?

How do i do this please? thanks

You don't find things like that in a keyboard app, you find them in the app you are typing text into (just like your laptop's keyboard doesn't have bold/underline/italic keys). So when typing here I can use the little line of controls above the text input window to change things like that.

So it does depend on what email client you use, but most will have such options. You may need to check the app's settings to turn on a "style toolbar" or similar, but 2 of the 3 email appsI use on my phone have such options (if ProtonMail has them they are well hidden, but that's not really what that app's about). If you see a toolbar that doesn't have the precise options you want maybe try scrolling it sidewards to see whether there are more options (one of my apps is like that).

If the email app you use doesn't do this and it's important to you, other apps are available (there's nothing special about the ones that manufacturer's bundle).

i'm using the aol app. of course it would be in the app but i don't see it. or don't know where it went.

i just went on it and don't see the symbols. from some posts i just saw online it seems they many have gotten rid of them.

I know nothing about AOL, I've afraid: never used them, unless perhaps I've used one of those old AOL install CD ROMs they used to give away as a coaster for my coffee mug .

But you should be able to set up a different email app to connect to an AOL account.

that's ok. i know no one uses aol. i remember those ROMS.

i'll manage. it's not that important. thanks for replying. I have outlook. I just don't use it
