Changing Font Styles and Size on Microsoft Word

So this week we dive into a very visual, unexpectedly important skill, how to change the font size and font style in Microsoft Office. Disclaimers: This skill will work with both NVDA and JAWS AND this skill will work on all MS Office applications such as Word, Powerpoint, Excel etc.

Now, let’s say that your learner does not use any vision at all? Why is ist so important for them to be able to change two visual attributes of their documents? Well, simple answer: the font size and font style will affect how many words are on a page and we know in high school and in higher education, a "5-page paper" in 11 point Arial can have a lot more words than a 5-page paper in 12-point Times New Roman. AKA: Important skill for our older learners.

Prerequisite Skills

Here is what you need to know before you start learning or teaching this skill:

1.  How to read text with multiple reading commands (by letter, word, line and paragraph)

2.   <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o4YUwkZQhAMc2vichp3xLFuUikD-H7kYg5PPkTetXRmRQAAR75d2_6TK8MQZMq06tUiGjbx3ugIOtoiFUs7MnlDT8e-BzLqYzZmdPhKG5mpxNt13dffga5I-2Ro4uQNV_vTcbd3ggMvx_3LpC9K3rsZ3xc8gpuL_E6ZnNV85OYlEFwxx_279pHHcTUGU4JdV&c=ttFdUhnnHi6cquY6atrEJ13rGzAI6aVt4N7yS4EGGTSi4ELFOc--QQ==&ch=Ahf28D-rDk2hdgZaTABas56KRJ0OzXK_PanYn7TWPVYpDqg-64haVg==> Confidently placing your cursor

3.  Selecting Text

4.   <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o4YUwkZQhAMc2vichp3xLFuUikD-H7kYg5PPkTetXRmRQAAR75d2_6TK8MQZMq0695xMxa4tte0Y3FDDKCX5AakR3sWQ5fL-j9S_oGEPtu7D30ueYMKKtrqQmY5pBJRqfOQYaRSONuMXT8dWDuMj951VmVXgEqkaetUVJOc2MNFw_a8JrJvGgAK5maBtyNz-&c=ttFdUhnnHi6cquY6atrEJ13rGzAI6aVt4N7yS4EGGTSi4ELFOc--QQ==&ch=Ahf28D-rDk2hdgZaTABas56KRJ0OzXK_PanYn7TWPVYpDqg-64haVg==> Basic Ribbon Navigation

If you or your learner doesn’t know these skills, take a look at our  <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o4YUwkZQhAMc2vichp3xLFuUikD-H7kYg5PPkTetXRmRQAAR75d2_6TK8MQZMq06ukZQUa9Pe_vdbzeGuIz82vH5wZdcTH48UTjEidLZQLYD6e5f4CBnm5f_BRV2wYbvZOktU1sSe1D2Yf-0oGbC_g==&c=ttFdUhnnHi6cquY6atrEJ13rGzAI6aVt4N7yS4EGGTSi4ELFOc--QQ==&ch=Ahf28D-rDk2hdgZaTABas56KRJ0OzXK_PanYn7TWPVYpDqg-64haVg==> Screen Reader Curriculum, Part 1: Working with Text. We walk you through each of these skills step-by-step, or click on each skill above. We link to resources that may help.

Step 1: Select Your Text

If you don’t know how to select text, take a look at  <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o4YUwkZQhAMc2vichp3xLFuUikD-H7kYg5PPkTetXRmRQAAR75d2_6TK8MQZMq06ukZQUa9Pe_vdbzeGuIz82vH5wZdcTH48UTjEidLZQLYD6e5f4CBnm5f_BRV2wYbvZOktU1sSe1D2Yf-0oGbC_g==&c=ttFdUhnnHi6cquY6atrEJ13rGzAI6aVt4N7yS4EGGTSi4ELFOc--QQ==&ch=Ahf28D-rDk2hdgZaTABas56KRJ0OzXK_PanYn7TWPVYpDqg-64haVg==> "Working with Text" and then come back here to learn this more advanced skill. Remember, don’t rush your journey. It is much easier when you take your time and learn each skill slowly than rushing to a more advanced skill before you are ready.

Step 2: Jump to the Ribbon

If you are not sure how to do this, take a look at our  <https://r20.rs6.net/tn.jsp?f=001o4YUwkZQhAMc2vichp3xLFuUikD-H7kYg5PPkTetXRmRQAAR75d2_6TK8MQZMq0695xMxa4tte0Y3FDDKCX5AakR3sWQ5fL-j9S_oGEPtu7D30ueYMKKtrqQmY5pBJRqfOQYaRSONuMXT8dWDuMj951VmVXgEqkaetUVJOc2MNFw_a8JrJvGgAK5maBtyNz-&c=ttFdUhnnHi6cquY6atrEJ13rGzAI6aVt4N7yS4EGGTSi4ELFOc--QQ==&ch=Ahf28D-rDk2hdgZaTABas56KRJ0OzXK_PanYn7TWPVYpDqg-64haVg==> Tech Tip Tuesday video on Navigating the Ribbon.

For this skill we need to jump to the "Home Tab".

  <https://imgssl.constantcontact.com/letters/images/1101116784221/S.gif> 

  <https://files.constantcontact.com/289ed0d0801/1cac1d50-fa3e-4465-b2f9-3bd75c27455b.png?rdr=true> 

Step 3: Jump to the "Font" Section

This is easy, once you are in the Home Tab of the ribbon, simply press "F" on your keyboard to jump to the font section.

Step 4: Jump to the Correct Function

We have 2 functions that we are learning today: (1) Font Size and (2) Font Style. For each, press the associated letters below:

*     Font Style: F

*     Font Size: S

So, if you put steps 2 and 3 together, that is:

*     Font Style: FF (F for font section, F for font style)

*     Font Size: FS (F for font section, S for font size)

Step 5: Navigate the Combo Box

Remember, a combo box is just a drop down menu. You have two options:

1.  Type in the font style or size you’d like.

2.  Use up and down arrows to make your selection.

Once you press Enter, your font size or style will be changed!

And that’s all there is to it! Remember, you can also click the button below to watch the Tech Tip Tuesday video this week on the SAME TOPIC or reply to this email with any questions or concerns you may have.

We will be back next week to show you how to perform a spell check using Microsoft Office. Until then, keep up all your great work with your learners, and have a great week!
