    • In the font menu, you can type a size, you aren't limited to the pull-down

      menu choices. So, for example, you can type "6" into the font size box.

      Half-sizes work as well, e.g., 8.5.

      You can also press Ctrl+] and Ctrl+[ to increase/decrease the font of

      selected text by 1 point. So, for example, if text is currently 8 points,

      you can select it and tap Ctrl+[ twice to reduce it to 7 and then to 6

      points.

    • Word can scale any TrueType font from 1 point to 1,238 points, in half-point

      increments. Type the desired size into the Font box and press Enter.
