I am using Word 2003 under XP Pro.
In the font dialog box, I have a section for selecting a complex script.
The sample box shows the font in English in TNR (or whatever the selected
font is) plus (I presume) the word 'sample' in a right-to-left font (sorry,
don't know international alphabets, but it looks Middle Eastern). I also
see examples of the complex script when I'm working with style settings.
When I view style definitions, the description always includes the phrase
left-to-right
It seems that at some point I enabled right-to-left languages in my copy of
Word, but I do not recall doing this. It seems to have started about the
same time that I loaded a full copy of Adobe Acrobat. Not sure if it is
related or a coincidence. I also experimented with Voice Recognition and
handwriting.
I have gone to the MS Office Language Settings (under MS Office Program
menu) and there is nothing to disable. The only languaged listed as Enabled
is English (US). I have also looked at all the possible settings under
Regional Settings on the Control Panel and cannot find anything that seems
applicable.
I would like to be able to remove the Complex Script option from my font
dialog box. Other than the fact that it annoys me, the biggest reason is
that I'm writing a book that includes screen shots of MS Word and these
screen shots will not be representative of what others are likely to see in
their own copy of Word.
All references that I have found to date explain how to ENABLE complex
scripts, but there is nothing about disabling or removing.
I am willing to re-load Word and/or Office if this would resolve the
problem. If so, would restoring settings using the Save my Settings Wizard
cause the problem to return?
Thanks so much for any help!

Introduction

Examples

By the end of this lesson, you should be able to:

  • Adjust font size


The Font dialog box

Use the Font dialog box (found in the Format menu) to change your font, preview it, and adjust its size and style.

The font list

To select a font, you can scroll through the font list. The list shows you all of the fonts that are available on the computer you're using.

You can preview a particular font before you select it for your document. The preview window in the Font dialog box allows you to see what a particular font looks like. Previewing can help you select an appropriate font for your document.

Changing font size

The Font dialog box also allows you to change the size of a font. You can use different font sizes to give emphasis to different parts of your document. Font size is commonly expressed in points. Font sizes range from 8 point (extremely small) to 72 point (extremely large).

Arial 10 Point

Arial 12 Point

Arial 20 Point

Arial 26 Point

Font

The standard font size for most documents is 12 point. You can preview different font sizes in the preview window in the Font dialog box.

To change font and font size:

Word
  • Choose FormatFont. The Font dialog box appears.
  • Click a font from the font list.
  • Select a size from the font size list.
  • Look at the text in the preview window as you try different sizes.

The Formatting toolbar

The most commonly used font tools (except for preview) are available on the Formatting toolbar. The Formatting toolbar allows you to change font name, font size, and font style.

Although different and unusual fonts can give a document a unique and personal feel, each business has different fonts that are preferred for official correspondence. It is always wise to ask what typefaces or fonts are most commonly used in your workplace.
