Reduce font size by set amount

[JKForde]

Hi

Does anyone know if it's possible in Word2003 to select a large piece of text with different font sizes and reduce\increase the respective font sizes in all of the text by a set amount, say 5 points

Word has ShrinkFont and GrowFont commands. I think they change the font by
one point size except they skip font sizes not shown on the menu, though. So
14 pt goes to 12 pt, not 13 pt.

There are also ShrinkFontOnePoint and GrowFontOnePoint commands.

You can find these under Tools > Macros > Word Commands.

I've used the Customize dialog to move them to a custom menu. Unfortunately,
I haven't been able to replicate the command with a macro or use a macro to
run it multiple times when a selection includes multiple font sizes.

There are icons for reduce/enlarge font by 1 pt. Just click the appropriate
icon. If you don't see the icon, then add it through customise.

Ctrl-[ will reduce fonts in the selection by one point.
Ctrl-] will increase fonts in the selection by one point.

Ctrl-[ will reduce fonts in the selection by one point.
Ctrl-] will increase fonts in the selection by one point.

.... and the keyboard shortcuts for the other built-in commands you
mentioned:

Ctrl+< = ShrinkFont
Ctrl+> = GrowFont

OTOH...
For everything but a one-off, hacked together document, it's much better to
modify the style(s) than to change the font size manually.
