After typing a date e.g 23rd, the rd went very small and raised up and all
following words typed were in the reduced size. Now all fonts come out much
smaller. How can I get back to normal size for the fonts?

Press Ctrl+Spacebar.

The small characters are formatted as superscripts. Select them and
press the Ctrl+Shift+= shortcut, or go the long way through the menu
Format Font and uncheck the Superscript box.

If you don't want Word to automatically format the letters (ordinals),
go to Tools AutoCorrect Options, click the AutoFormat As You Type
tab, and uncheck "Ordinals (1st) with superscript". You may also want
to uncheck most of the rest of the options there -- see
