Change relative text size?

edit

I have a macro, based on someone else's work from this or another forum, but I regret I've lost the reference, which changes the size of all selected text by +/- 1 point. In my setup, one keystroke calls the macro for +1 point, another for -1 pt. Doesn't work in tables or text boxes. If it is of interest, I can post it here.

EDIT So sorry for delay. I've attached a blank writer document with the macros. I have customised Ctrl-] and Ctrl-[ to call the macros FontUp and FontDown respectively (which are simple calls to the working macro FontUpDown). But however you call these two macros the font size of the highlighted text will be increased or decreased by 1 point.

Couple of limitations ... It does not work in tables, textboxes or other abstruse constructions! (Although it does work around them.) It does not handle trailing blank lines.

Further edit: I've just located the original reference: https://forum.openoffice.org/en/forum...

The best way to do that is authoring your document by attributing styles to the various paragraphs. Afterwards, you only need to play with style definition.

In the worst case, the outcome of your copy/paste is plain "unstyled" text. You put the cursor in a paragraph and double-click on the desired style in the Styles & Formatting panel (F11).

If your text already has styles attached, you may be better off erasing added "direct formatting" (one which has been added manually) because it overrides what you do with styles and hides their changes, which is frustrating.

Probably best would be to define header sizes in terms of relative size (say, 115%) from the start... then changing the base size (which could be Default Style size) would automatically do the job.

Ctrl+A, then Ctrl+[ or Ctrl+].
