You would simply highlight the font size area and type in 13 and hit <Enter>.

Type the number 13 into the font size box, and then press Enter.

You can use any size from 1 to 1638 points, in half-point increments.

I tried that, but it just shifted back to 12 point font. Any suggestions?

What font is selected when you do this? Is it a TrueType font such as
Times New Roman or Arial? Or is it one of the fonts that shows in the
list with a red A icon? TrueType fonts are "scalable" -- they can
print at any size you choose. The others are "bitmapped" fonts that
can print only the specific sizes provided.

Also, do you have a "real" printer selected as the Windows default, or
one of the "software only" ones such as Generic Text? If it is a real
printer, try updating or reinstalling the printer driver.

Jay, Thanks for your help. I finally got it to change to 13 point font by
highlighting the text before changing the font . It then worked! Thanks
much.

In a blank document with the font size set at say 10, or with the relevant
text highlighted, hold the Ctrl key & press the ] key and each tap increases
the font size one point. Alternatively, if the font size is set at say 16,
using the [ key reduces the size one at a time. B Brush

It's usually quicker just to type the desired size in the Font Size box and
press Enter.
