I got so far to have my work in google docs and I did something that enlarged my font to 16. How can I restore the size to 14?
I'm new to google docs since I'm old and I always used Microsoft Word.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

That ought to make the text the right size again.

I don't know why it thinks my name is "Arial", though.

Left curved arrow, right currved arrow, printer, A with a check mark, paint roller, 100% dropdown, "normal text" dropdown, Font name drop down, negative sign, number, plus sign?
If so, change the number between the negative and plus signs

Or you can hit Ctrl-Z over & over until you undo your changes.

Thanks so much...I feel like that I was such a ninny.

(90 posts)8. escape key to see tool bar
If you are in full screen mode the tool bar is not visible. To see the tool bar hit the escape key. That's how mine works on a Mac.
