I am creating a from in Live Cycle Designer 8.0. I would like to give the user the option to change size color and possibly font on a text field. Is this possible? If so, how can I do it?

You can also do this via script on a button, for example, except that this scenario requires that the field's value be plain text, not rich text as in Lori's example.
If you had a text field and a button and you wanted the result of clicking the button to change the font used by the content area (value) of the text field to Times New Roman, 8pt, blue, you could use the following JavaScript on the button's Click event:
TextField1.font.size = "8pt";
TextField1.font.typeface = "Times New Roman";
TextField1.font.fill.color.value = "0,0,255"; // RGB value
If you had a text field and a button and you wanted the result of clicking the button to change the font used by the content area (value) of the text field to Times New Roman, 8pt, blue, you could use the following JavaScript on the button's Click event:
TextField1.font.size = "8pt";
TextField1.font.typeface = "Times New Roman";
TextField1.font.fill.color.value = "0,0,255"; // RGB value
You can do this by using a rich text field (Select Rich Text as the field format in the field tab, and XHTML as the data format in the binding tab) in LiveCycle. Then, as the user is filling out the text field in Acrobat when they select CTRL-E it opens the rich text editing toolbar where they can select bold, underline, etc.
Hope this helps,
