Ctrl+Shift+P: Select Point Size of Font (in Microsoft Office apps)

Posted in Microsoft Word, Microsoft Excel, Microsoft PowerPoint by estephen on June 26th, 2007

Similar to yesterday’s tip, Ctrl+Shift+P will jump your cursor in the font size (also known as “point size,” thus the letter P for the keyboard shortcut) box on the Formatting toolbar in Microsoft Word, Excel, or PowerPoint.

Once there, type in a number such as 18 and press Enter. Whatever text is selected will change to the new size; if no text is selected, whatever you type next will be at the new size.

    This and Ctrl+Shift+F are pretty handy for those of us who are too lazy to reach for the mouse. Thanks for the info.
