Add phonetic guides
Remove phonetic guides
Tip
The text format applied to the selected text will not be changed after you add and remove its phonetic guides. Also, you may change format of the text after you add a phonetic text to it. However, when you apply a text format such as Bold to the text, the format is applied to its phonetic guides as well. When you change the text format of the text, remove phonetic guides before you apply a format. After you apply a format to the text, add phonetic guides again.
