3. Click the "B" icon to change the text to boldface.

However, right now, only the currently selected tab is visible - if you're trying to switch to another tab, you can't tell which one it is.

Notes: The options for the Table tab also seem to be pretty limited compared to the image on the wiki - only Insert Row, Remove Row, Insert Column, and Remove Column are present. Also, it's not clear whether it's intentional that tabbing past the end of a table will generate new rows. Normally, in a spreadsheet, this would bring you back to the beginning.
