Extends

Remarks

[ API set: ExcelApi 1.1 ]

Properties

bold

Represents the bold status of the font.

color

HTML color code representation of the text color (e.g., #FF0000 represents Red).

context

The request context associated with the object. This connects the add-in's process to the Office host application's process.

italic

Specifies the italic status of the font.

name

Font name (e.g., "Calibri"). The name's length should not be greater than 31 characters.

size

Font size.

strikethrough

Specifies the strikethrough status of font. A null value indicates that the entire range doesn't have a uniform strikethrough setting.

subscript

Specifies the subscript status of font. Returns true if all the fonts of the range are subscript. Returns false if all the fonts of the range are superscript or normal (neither superscript, nor subscript). Returns null otherwise.

superscript

Specifies the superscript status of font. Returns true if all the fonts of the range are superscript. Returns false if all the fonts of the range are subscript or normal (neither superscript, nor subscript). Returns null otherwise.

tintAndShade

Specifies a double that lightens or darkens a color for the range font. The value is between -1 (darkest) and 1 (brightest), with 0 for the original color. A null value indicates that the entire range doesn't have a uniform font tintAndShade setting.

underline

Type of underline applied to the font. See Excel.RangeUnderlineStyle for details.

Methods

load(options)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNames)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

load(propertyNamesAndPaths)

Queues up a command to load the specified properties of the object. You must call context.sync() before reading the properties.

set(properties, options)

Sets multiple properties of an object at the same time. You can pass either a plain object with the appropriate properties, or another API object of the same type.

set(properties)

Sets multiple properties on the object at the same time, based on an existing loaded object.

toJSON()

Overrides the JavaScript toJSON() method in order to provide more useful output when an API object is passed to JSON.stringify(). (JSON.stringify, in turn, calls the toJSON method of the object that is passed to it.) Whereas the original Excel.RangeFont object is an API object, the toJSON method returns a plain JavaScript object (typed as Excel.Interfaces.RangeFontData) that contains shallow copies of any loaded child properties from the original object.
