Choosing a type size

    • In the Character palette, choose the desired size from the Size pop-up menu Size pop-up menu . You can also select the existing size and type a new value or press the Up Arrow or Down Arrow key to change the size in 1-point increments.
    • Choose a size from the Type > Size menu. Choosing Other lets you type a new size in the Character palette.
