Probably, every user was dealing with Microsoft Office software, or at least heard about it. And for most, most likely, it was an experience with MS Word. This is the most universal application for working with text and its editing. But, like in any other program, some people may have questions related to a lack of understanding of functions. In particular, how to make a font larger than 72 in Word? Focusing specifically on this issue, it is worth noting that increasing the text above the above parameters will not be any work.
Home Tab
Setting the text, its width, size and many other functions is located on the tab, which opens by default. "Home" contains information about the main elements of the text, most often used by users. Here you can find a variety of functions for formatting the font - from the style of the text to the subscripts and coloring characters in a different color. If you specify, then the following sections are located here:
- Clipboard. Allows you to insert and format text.
- Font. Work with character writing - the user can modify the written text to size, color and the like.
- Paragraph. Provides editing of paragraph elements such as indentation, wrap, list, fill and others.
- Styles Here you can creatively approach the text format, using ready-made styles or creating a new look.
- Editing. This panel contains tools such as Find, Select, Replace, and some others.
Font Section
We’ll take a closer look at the “Font” section, as key operations take place here when creating beautiful text. Returning to the question of how to make the font larger than 72 in Word, we will start directly with this tool. Opposite the font selection is a box with letter size values. By clicking on the arrow, you will expand the list where you can observe values from 1 to 72. But is it really impossible to set a size parameter larger than 72? You can - a text editor supports dimensions from 1 to 1638, so only these sizes are available to the user. To enter a number greater than 72, you must specify a specific size in the field itself. You can control the size with the buttons "Increase - decrease font size" with a stroke difference of 2 units.
Hotkeys
When writing text quickly, it’s convenient to use keyboard shortcuts, which greatly reduces time. There are two keyboard shortcuts for resizing:
- "Ctrl +]" - increases the size by one unit.
- "Ctrl + [" - reduces the size by one unit
