How to get "leading and pont size" on here, please?
Im doing a research paper for a college Typography class, and I need to know
how to set my font as 12/24 Times Roman. I know how to select Times Roman, but I dont know how to set the point size (12) and the leading (24). Is there any way to do this or do I need a different software? Can anyone help me, please? |

In Word, the point size is part of the font formatting, while the leading is part of the paragraph formatting (although Word calls it line spacing). You can set the font size on the Formatting toolbar or in the Format Font dialog. The number shown in the box is in points. You can set the leading only in the Format Paragraph dialog. In the Line Spacing settings, change the dropdown to Exactly and enter the number of points in the box to its right. Although you can apply these settings directly to selected pieces of text, Word works best with styles. Defining settings for styles works much the same way as direct formatting, except that you go through the New Style or Modify Style dialog first and use the Format button in that dialog. -- 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. |
