@Alexzee :-
Heh. I tend to agree with Ray:-
Just hi-lite all the text you want changed, go to font, then go to go to size. Pretty easy.
As you say, it's clear you're not used to word-processors.....are you?
Having SAID that, though:-
I did a basic 'business course' several years ago; the sort of stuff any home user would need to know in order to keep a 'home office' running smoothly.
Quite a lot of instruction was given vis-a-vis written correspondence; getting the forms of address right, the 'correct' way to write a letter, etc.....and my senior-school English teacher - many years ago! - had been a real stickler for getting everything just right, so it's not like I wasn't already used to doing things 'properly' in any case. The course also gave plenty of tuition on actual WP operation & usage. I seem to recall it was all mostly in Windows XP - M$ Word, naturally! - but ever since then, I've found this stuff immensely useful for home use.
Mama, at the age now of nearly 92, has a lot of trouble with arthritis in the hands.....so if she needs to reply to someone, or send correspondence, I'm the one who actually types out the letters, envelopes, etc, for her. And this is somebody who, in her youth, held the junior speed-typing title in the county of Norfolk, where we live.....able to type accurately at the speed of 180 WPM (words per minute), on a
mechanical typewriter. That's FAST.
You can imagine how frustrating she finds it to have to get someone else to do this stuff FOR her nowadays!
(I bought her one of these wee hand-held digital voice recorders a while back - tiny little thing! - so now she simply dictates what she wants to put in the letter, then I type things out for her. I've become pretty good at interpreting exactly what she's trying to say, so.....it "works" for us!)
I make a good secretary, apparently!

I've been packaging up stuff for the Puppy community for a long time now, but office suites didn't used to be something I covered. A few years ago, I researched into all the available Linux office suites - there's quite a number of them - and made it my business to use each of them thoroughly, in order to understand the different 'work-flows'. As it turned out, most office suites are surprisingly similar in operation, though certain operations are frequently under different sub-menus, depending on the developer, but.....nothing that can't be handled.
I tend to use Libre Office myself most of the time, though I quite like its "parent", Open Office too. And learning this stuff also helps with things like composing a post on an on-line forum, as well.....it's quite unbelievable how many English users 'murder' the very language they speak every day!!
My own countrymen are often amongst the worst "offenders" in this respect...
I also concentrate on the GUI stuff as much as I do for one simple reason.....because it helps to make the transition easier for Puppy newcomers, who are invariably Windows "refugees" & have never known anything else. And, truth to tell, despite being perfectly capable of doing things via command-line in Linux, I also prefer GUI-based operation myself.
That's what 30-odd years of using Windows will DO to you!
