How to get bold text in Gtalk

Written by Anurag Bhateja on March 24, 2009 – 10:08 am -

Those who chat a lot on gtalk must be aware of the fact that Ctrl+B do not work in messenge window. When we need to bold some specific word or phrase in Gtalk, unlike yahoo messenger we do not find any option.

Now there is a strange way of doing this. You jut need to bind the word or phrase between “*” like if you write Anurag as Anurag then you need to write it as *Anurag* and it will result in Anurag.

Although I do not know why Google people do stuff like this where they try to change the most common controls but anyway those who like Gtalk over Yahoo messenger unlike me they can jut go ahead and put * around their words :)
