Mixed language font size.
My word 2007 docx contain a mixture of english, pinyin and chinese mandarin.
Most of the docx are made up of bits that have been cut and pasted from various sources. I "select all" then make the whole doc have a standard font size,usually 9. I now want to increase the font size to 16 for all the chinese characters only. Anyone help me with how to do this?. Thanks in advance. -- dtstevenson |

Mixed language font size.
To: Tds,
When I work with mixed languages, I use different styles for the different languages. Thus I would have had a Pinyin style & a Chinese Mandarin style, as well as using "body text" (or somesuch) for English. If you had done this, you could then just change the font size of the Chinese Mandarin style and it would not effect the passages using other languages. But I assume you didn't do that. Did you use the same font for all three languages? If not, it would be a simple task of using that difference to solve your problem. I'm not familiar with either Pinyin or Chinese Mandarin, but I assume that they are closely related languages, yes? Also, are you using Unicode to display Pinyin & Chinese Mandarin? If I'm not mistaken, Chinese uses Unicode characters from 4E00 to 9FFF (hex). It would be easy to distingish these from normal English text, but does Pinyin and chinese Mandarin use the same set of characters?

Mixed language font size.
Thanks for replying, Because most of the content of my docx is cut and pasted
from a large variety of sources I dont have your paragraph 1 option. In order to get the document in any sort of shape I select all and standardise on Arial font and 9 size. This makes your 2nd para option redundant. Incidently if I did use one font for Chinese and another for Pinyin and English I still dont see how I could selectively change the font size for the Chinese. your para 3. Pinyin is a Romanization of chinese characters it therefore uses english letters with diacritical marks to indicate the four tones. It is a sort of half way house between chinese and english. Your para 4. You are quite right the chinese characters are unicode 4e00 to 9fff and pinyin uses ordinary letters not characters. Does this help? -- dtstevenson "StevenM" wrote: To: Tds, When I work with mixed languages, I use different styles for the different languages.

Mixed language font size.
To: T.D. Stevenson,
I could write a macro for you which would find all unicode characters (4e00 to 9fff) and convert those characters to a new Style called "Chinese" (or whatever you like), and then you could change that style to any font size you wanted. But I have one more series of questions. Do you have paragraphs, sentences, and/or lines of text with both Chinese, on the one hand, and English or Pinyin texts, on the other hand? Is most or all of the Chinese text seperate from the English or Pinyin texts? (Word has two types of styles, paragraph styles and character styles.) Would you be willing to send to me your document, part of your document, or a mock-up of your document via e-mail?

Mixed language font size.
Before you run the macro below, you must create a "Chinese" style in your
document. This style must be Character based and not Paragraph based. The font of this style should be "SimSun." (It is usually best to place your cursor on Chinese text before creating this style.) Once the new style has been created, then run my macro. While it is running, in the bottom left corner you should see two numbers. The first number is the number of Characters in your document. The second number gives you the number the macro is on. This will give you a rough idea how long it will take for the macro to finish. This macro is very simple. Your document used the SimSun font for Chinese characters, and other fonts for other characters. So this macro simply looks for a character using a SimSun font and changes its style from normal to "Chinese". After this is done, you can change the font size of the Chinese style to anything you want. Sub SimSun2ChineseStyle() Dim nChars As Long Dim i As Long Dim oRange As Range Set oRange = ActiveDocument.Range nChars = oRange.Characters.Count For i = 1 To nChars Application.StatusBar = nChars & ":" & i If oRange.Characters(i).Font.Name = "SimSun" Then oRange.Characters(i).Style = "Chinese" End If Next i End Sub Steven Craig Miller "tds" wrote: My word 2007 docx contain a mixture of english, pinyin and chinese mandarin.
