WHY DID THE FONT CHANGE ON SEVERAL PAGES OF MY MANUSCRIPT AFTER COMPLETING MULTIPLE PAGES OF MY DOCUMENTARY? WHERE DO I FIND THE FONT SIZE TOOL?

I started writing my “memoires” several months ago and now I returned after completing 32 pages to find that the font size has been changed on several pages of the document. How do I make the pages consistent again? Where can I FIND THE FONT SIZE TOOL?

Everything in capital letters is counted here as yelling.

Please change it.

You likely use manual direct formatting instead of styles. In this work flow where everything is manually controlled, it is very easy to mis-type some keyboard command equivalent which changes font size or other.

You may have pressed Ctrl instead ofShift, both keys are close to each other.

Reversing direct formatting is difficult and tedious. There is only one radical way: select all and Ctrl+M. But this wipes out all formatting.

I recommend you read the User Guide, notably the chapter about styles, while you are still at 32 pages. Restructuring your document when you are at 100 pages will be way longer.
