Emaulate WORD's Ctrl+Shift+> for font sizing

[TValley]

MS WORD has a great time-saver for increasing and decreasing font sizes, something I find myself doing frequently in H&M.

How it works: Highlight a word or paragraph, then press Ctrl+Shift+> to increase to the next font size, or Ctrl+Shift+< to decrease the font size.

Note that the effect is relative: If there are three different font sizes within the highlighted area, each font size will be incremented/decremented individually, retaining the differences.


Thanks for considerng this. In almost every other respect, I actually ENJOY working with H&M.

How do you increase the font? I am only able to decrease it. The characters "<" and ">" are on the same key on a German keyboard.

I fear that this key may be used for a special character in other languages. Any experiences especially from East-European (Czech, Polish, Russian) users? Feedback is welcome!

Alexander,

I'm not sure what MS-Word does for the German keyboard layout; perhaps they use other keys?

This is from WORD's online Help:
