I'm relatively new to OpenOffice, having bought a new computer which did not have Word on it. I have run across a problem, however, that I can't seem to solve. I'm sure there is a simple solution, but I haven't found it with the use of Help. So I'm writing in the hopes SKS will help me out.

Somehow I have increased the size of the font in a document to what looks like at least a 16, or more. I have it set for 12, but cannot reduce the size to that. I would appreciate it if someone would give me step by step instructions on how to correct the problem. Thanks.

Hi Sarah

Open the document with the large font size.

Select the whole document by doing >Edit >select all.

Change the size of the font in the font size box using the drop down arrow next to the box.

Please note that when the whole document is selected, if the font size is blank then there is more than one font size in the document and you are changing them all. If the font is blank then there is more than one font in the document. Selecting the font using the drop down will allow you to change the font.

Now save the document and the size will be changed.

I hope that is step-by-step enough.

Rob


Rob,

This is what I was doing before when it wouldn't change the font. I've tried it again any number of times and it just won't change the size. I can't imagine why it isn't working. Can you suggest anything else to try?

Sarah

When you use the down arrow next to the font size are you given any size options?

Do you have the font you are using installed on this computer?

Can I suggest switching the font to one that is installed on your computer such as "Times New Roman". This seems to be installed on all the computers I have used. Then change the font size and see if that works.

If neither of these seem to help please try printing out the document and comparing th size to the original.

Rob
