How do I set up a style so my acronyms are smaller than reg font?
My company uses a style where the body of the text is in 12 pt Garamond font
but words that are in all caps (such as acronyms) need to be in 10 pt Garamond font. We have been doing this manually and I would like to see if it is possible to set up a formatting style that would do this as automatically as we type. I tried setting up a regular formatting style but it would only give me one option in terms of font size. Help please! |

I would suggest that you define a character style that is Default Paragraph
Font + Small Caps. Note that you will have to type the text in lowercase before applying the Small Caps formatting. I think you'll find that Word's Small Caps formatting is equivalent to reducing the font size by an equivalent percentage. Neither approach actually has the same result as using true small caps that are part of a font (which are designed to be the same weight as the full-size text), but it's the best you can get unless you have a Small Caps version of Garamond. -- Suzanne S.

To add to the advice that Suzanne gives... if you have a pat list of
acronyms you use, you could create formatted AutoCorrect entries to automatically convert them to the desired formatting each time any one of them is typed. That way, the writer wouldn't have to remember to apply a style each time an acronym is typed. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Kate@bd-c" wrote in message ...
