When you are using the Sketch Editor, the Status Bar at the bottom of the Workbench gives you information about current settings, and allows you to change a number of them.  Selecting one or more Words and Arrows with the pointing tool and clicking on the Status Bar is a fast way to make font and color changes to particular sketch objects.
