Re: Font size
Hi Jodi, You are very welcome. When you find something in the software that you find frustrating, or seems "stupid", first take a look in the in-built "Help" facility, while not intended to be an "all encompassing" detailed reference, it can often give you a reasonable clue about the information you need to track down in other resources, such as the forum: https://forum.openoffice.org the FAQ's, HowTos & Docs: https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation. This software has been around, in one form or another, for almost 17 years and there have been numerous articles and tutorials written about it. So once you have a clue to what you should be looking for (eg. the in-built "Help" facility), it should not be difficult to do a web search and pinpoint the information you need. Hope this helps.

Re: Font size
I hear you, Jacques. I have to highlight all the space I need and then set it to the font size I want while it's still blue. So stupid.

What my problem was (and it might be yours as well) there were some spaces on the page with nothing in them , so could not be seen, that were set at the default 12. Then I would change to font size to something else where I was, but when I got to those other places it seemed to magically change back to 12. The solution I found was to highlight the entire page by holding down the mouse button and swiping the entire page and then change the font size.

Re: font size changing by itself
I think your default template is the issue. If you modify the default template the font size you wish, save it under a new name, then change the default to the new template your issue should be solved. -- Blessings, Joe Conner, Poulsbo, WA USA Joshua 24:15 "...as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD."

Does the text print the wrong size, or are you talking about its appearance on screen? Remember that the screen appearance (unlike the actual print size) is influenced by the zoom factor in the view settings. Go to View | Zoom... and experiment with the settings there to see what suits you. Perhaps start with Optimal and Automatic. These settings are retained between documents and uses of OpenOffice and even across reinstallation or updating, so this fits in with your suggested symptoms. I trust this helps.
