How do I get larger font sizes?

[Guest]

Currently the largest font size is 72 how can or what can I do to obtain
larger font sizes when using Microsoft Word

 

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

Actually you can go much larger. Select the text, click in the Font Size
box, type a number
between 1 and 1638, and press the Enter key. (I think you may be able to do
half sizes too but I'm not positive.)

In the Font Size box, type a number between 1 and 1638, and press
Enter.

Yes, you can use half sizes. Unlike Publisher, however, Word permits only
half-point (not tenth of a point) increments.

I thought so but let's face it, if you're using something over 72 pts who
really needs a half point more?

But when you get down in the very low ranges, half a point can be
significant.

But I was responding to your implied question about half-point sizes, not to

[JoAnn Paules [MVP]]

I found I'm more likely to change the 'tween sized fonts to a round number.
Something about a 13.8 pt font just doesn't make sense to me.

Nope. I can take it down to 13 or tweak the textbox a hair to get 14.
