Font sizes changing

Hello Anthony

I have been formatting a large document and our house style is 11 pitch for paragraphs. However, after each level 1 or 2 heading the font changes to 12 pitch and I have to go through the document paragraph by paragraph to change back to 11 pitch. Is there a quicker way of doing this. i.e. not having to go through each paragraph individually and do you think that maybe there is something wrong with the template which automatically changes the font size from 11 to 12?

RE: Font sizes changing

Hello Maria,

Hope you enjoyed your Microsoft Word Intermediate course with Best STL.

Thank you for your question regarding changing Font sizes.

I'm not sure what your default settings are so the first thing I would suggest is click the Format menu, click Font, change the size if necessary from 12 to 11, then click the Default button at the bottom left of the dialogue box. Click OK.

This will set your default to 11 points which should always follow any Heading1 styles that have been applied. Try this out... it should solve your problem.

I hope this resolves your question. If it has, please mark this question as resolved.

If you require further assistance, please reply to this post. Or perhaps you have another Microsoft Office question?

Have a great day.
Regards,

Rodney

Word tip:

Using Styles to create a header or footer.

Write your main title for the following pages in your document, i.e. Chapter 1, and apply a style to this title (Heading1 perhaps). Open your header using View-Header and Footer. Next choose Insert-Field and select the field named Styleref. In the next column headed "Style Name" select the style name that you applied to your main title. (Heading1 perhaps). Then press "OK". Your Header will now read Chapter 1 and will do so until you type in your next title i.e.Chapter 2 and apply the same style again to that new title.
