Text size in Word

TornadoTom

I'm trying to print-out a number on a A5 paper, the number needs to be about 3/4 of the size of the page.
I've got it set at 72...and thats the biggest it will go
It still looks really small.

How can I change this please ?

just type in the size you want rather than using the drop down box.

You can type a number into the box where the font size is shown

this where Tornado Tom has a 'duh, why didn't i think of that' moment

tried that...doesnt work for me.
when I put a number in there and click on the page to where I'm typing it reverts back to 72.
I've tried highlighting the number and changing the size too !

strange, i've just tested it and it works over here.. done it quite often at work as well without any problem.

Highlight the number in the dropdown then type in a higher number press enter and it will use that size font.

An easy way to change text size in Word is to highlight the text then press control and the [ key to make it smaller and control and ] to make it bigger. It grows before your eyes and makes it easier to fit into a certain size.
