IT WON'T LET ME DO A CUSTOM FONT SIZE :-(

Answer 1

You can either select the text you want to lower the size and hold the ctrl key and press [ to lower the font size ( ] to raise it)

Or I believe you can goto the Font control panel and enter a custom value for the font size.

Answer 2

I'm using Word 2003 and there are two methods I can use to change the font size to smaller than 8points.
1) Type the point size you want into the Font Size Box on the Formatting Toolbar
2) Select the text and then use this keyboard combination: Hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys together and then hit the < key till it reduces to the size you need.
(This will reduce the size right down to 1point)

NB: Ctrl + Shift + > will enlarge the font size

Answer 3

I think you cannot go any lower than the font sizes given. You could try changing to another font which may be smaller or which will allow use of a smaller pitch.

Answer 4

hi,
first highlight the text you want to change. on your toolbar click on the font size icon, highlight the number which is in there, like in your case is 8, and then just enter the font size number you want.

Answer 5

I think this depends more on your video card as well. I was able to highligh some text and change it to size 5 in the drop down menu using Calibri and Arial font.

Answer 6

You have to type it in the font box.

Answer 7

you should be able to click your cursor in the pt box and change it, when the pt number is high-lighted you can change the font size

Answer 8

type the number you want into the box, rather than select from the drop down menu
