Note: The following keyboard shortcut works on selected text in several programs including InDesign, QuarkXPress, MS Word, PowerPoint and even selected text in a Captivate Text Caption.
- Select some text
- On your keyboard, press CTRL + SHIFT + >
As you press the keys, notice that your font size gets bigger and bigger and bigger
- With the text still selected, press CTRL + SHIFT + <
The selected text will get smaller and smaller.
How will you possibly remember that key combination? Maybe this will help: the > key means "greater than" or bigger; the < key means "less than," or smaller.
