Right click on your text frame or go tools menu and show the Properties
palette. 

Just select the text and change the properties.

You wont need new frames for any of the above. Note though, at this
point, you cant use Styles or Story Editor if you wish to mix
fonts/effects within one paragraph.

See if you can update to 1.1.6 too.
