(Word 03 SP2)
Is there a way to apply a font change to an entire document, as in "decrease/increase font size by two points, or four points," etc? I want to avoid repeatedly selecting areas of text and then selecting font sizes from the toolbar. Thanks, -K |

There are built-in commands for this. The Grow Font and Shrink Font commands
are assigned the default shortcuts Ctrl+ and Ctrl+ and these will increase or decrease the size of each character to the next/previous size on the font size dropdown. The Grow Font One Point and Shrink Font One Point commands are assigned the default shortcuts Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ and these will increase or decrease the size by one point at a time. If different parts of the selected text have different sizes, they'll be affected separately. For example, if you have selected some text in 8 pt and some in 14 pt, and you apply Grow Font to the whole selection, the pieces become 9 pt and 16 pt respectively. For your request, just select the whole document (Ctrl+A) and then press the appropriate shortcut. Although by default these commands aren't on a toolbar or menu, you can put them there with the procedures in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Custom...oToToolbar.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. kondilemma wrote: (Word 03 SP2) Is there a way to apply a font change to an entire document, as in "decrease/increase font size by two points, or four points," etc?

Perfect! Just what I wanted to hear, Jay. An EASY way to make the changes
across my documents. Thanks for the quick reply. --Brad aka "K" "Jay Freedman" wrote: There are built-in commands for this.
