FONT SIZE

  • Thread starter Thread starter RANDELL
  • Start date Start date
The menu list only goes to 72, but you can type in any number you want. Word
does have a font size limit but I cannot remember what it is at the moment.
Also, please DON'T SHOUT, as you may wake everyone up! ;-)

Hope this helps

You can manually enter any font size between 1 and 1,638 points, in
half-point increments. The secret is to press Enter after typing the desired
size.

Interestingly, although that shortcut is meant to increase the font size to
the next *listed* size, above 72 it does still work, adding increments of 6
points at a time. The shortcuts Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ increase and decrease the
size by 1 point at a time.

That is interesting: I never realised that the Ctrl+Shft+> worked after it
incremented to the max size listed in the Font size dialog. I'm sure this
must be a recent change as I am sure that earlier versions didn't do this.
It is a long time since I tried it though - maybe Word 2000 or earlier.

In W2010, it increments 72 > 80 and in increments of 10 pts thereon.

I never realized it, either, because I'd never tried it. I'll try to
remember it, though, since I do tend to change font size by 6-point
increments when I'm trying to fine-tune large type.
