Font size box question

I was wondering if someone could tell me how to fix how my font size is displayed. I have some documents and the fonts size is displayed as follows 12 pt(8.62 pt). I something on how to fix it and I cannot remember. I am sure it is something simple but I am not sure how. I am using Indesign CS4 on windows vista pc.
Thanks

There is also the Adjust Scaling Percentage option in General preferences which you can turn off if you don't want the parentheses. You can read about it here:

  • Captivate 8 - Max font size 100pt??

    I can not get any font to go larger than 100pt. Is this a bug?

    I'm using a blank CP8 project from scratch. Nothing fancy. You can type in whatever font size above 100 that you want but your'e only going to get 100. If you click outside the font size box and back in you'll see it's gone back to 100.
    The copy-paste trick works but the point size increases by a factor of 1.33 (200pt becomes 266pt) and any changes to the size dumps it back down to 100. 
    It's also pretty annoying and time wasting that I can no longer scroll through the font size 1pt at a time.

  • In the tool box my font size is 12, when I compose the font size is 16, how do I solve this problem.

    I receive an email and wish to forward a reply. I click forward and begin to compose a response. However, the font size is 16, despite the fact that my tool box settings are established as 12. What can I do to compose in the font size of 12?

    It is web-mail using Firefox. Thanks for any help you might suggest.

  • How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    How do I change the font size and color in a text box?

    Really frustrating to find the first time but simple once you figure it out. I think I spent hours trying to find this. Simply right click on a blank spot in the toolbar up top and select Properties Bar. There it is! The available properties will change depending on whether you have the content (text) selected or the box itself.
    I haven't found a way yet to make it show up as a regular part of the toolbar. It floats around and gets in the way so I don't leave it on and then have to open it again when I need it. Again - frustrating; but at least it's there!

  • How to change the font size of Text Box  Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit.

    How to change the font size of Text Box  Properties Appearance tab into 2 decimal digit. I am uanble to modify it to 5.38 pt for example. Its only allowing to 1 decimal place.

    Click on each field and the choose Properties from either File menu (or if on Mac hold dow mouse button until context menu appears choose properties)
    go to Font
    choose desired size and type font,you can choose to make this the default.
    Do this with each field.
    Or if you have a lot of fields:
    while one is selected select all of them
    then go to fonts in properties
    change Font and size and make default.

  • How to change the font size of Text box tool ?

    How to change the font size of Text box tool ?
    I am using Acrobat PDF 6.0
    Tools > Advanced Commenting > Text Box Tool
    I need to know how to change the font size. The default font size is too big.
    let me know
    Thanks

    I do not have AA6 available right now (I can check at home this evening). I am also using AA Pro, not Std. In AA7, there is a text box tool that is a commenting tool. When I started typing, a properties toolbar came up that had the font size and such. I haven't figured out how to get the toolbar after the fact. In AA8, I selected the text box tool and then went to view and selected the properties bar (the font size and all showed then), or use Ctrl-E when editing the text. I have not been able to figure out how to edit the text in a text box after you have created it - think it is a mental block right now. Bill

  • How Change Font or Font Size in Text Box???

    Adobe Acrobat 7
    How do I Change the Font or Font Size in Text Box that I have inserted in a previously created .pdf file.
    Could not find any info on this in Help file. Thanks for any help.

    Use the text touchup tool, select the text, and right click to change the properties. If you mean a different type of text box, then look for the same type of changes, but use the same tool you used to create the text.

  • Dynamic text boxes, font size issues

    I have created a dynamic text box and an input text box.
    I have produced code that replicates whatever is typed in the
    input box to display in the dynamic box along with a date and time
    stamp once a button is clicked.
    This all works fine, except for the sizes of the fonts. for
    both boxes, i selected font size 10 . The input box is fine,
    however the dynamic box text is huge.
    When i make the dynamic text font smaller, it fits in fine,
    but the input text that is inserted into the dynamic text box comes
    in too big. If i make the input text box font smaller it is
    unreadable when typing it in.
    any soultion to how to make my font consistent. I am assumin
    the problem is because both the text boxes are different sizes,
    however i don't know how to resolve the issue.
    Any help is much appreciated.

  • LOV's in form combo box - how to change font size?

    Greetings:
    I've a table generated form (custom vs. tabular), with a combo-box field that fills with a LOV's that has as it's visible data, a rather long concatenated string. Therefore, this field makes the entire form rather wide when the LOV's contains a long string (as returned from the SQL that gathers the data).
    I've tried using the FONT tag in the 2nd tab (Form wizard) for custom layouts; that didn't work.
    Anyone have ideas for decreasing the font size of the LOV's? Else, I'll have to leave-out some of the info concatenated on that string.
    As always, thanks for you continued guidance and support...

    Hi,
    Changing the font size and other properties like font color, width, height, etc.. of the form elements can be achieved by using Cascading Style Sheet (CSS).
    It cannot be changed using <FONT> tag.
    In Portal, one can add the CSS attribute to the HTML tags in the custom layout of the form. But adding the CSS attribute to FORM elements (Input, select..)is not possible through Form wizards.
    However, this can be achieved by creating a form through the Dynamic Page. In this case you have to define your whole form.
    To know more about CSS you can visit: http://www.mako4css.com

  • Font size in PDF form (text boxes)

    Hi!
    I have an application form as a PDF which I have to print and send back. But the text isn't fitting into the text box, so I get a scroll bar. Now I either have to change the font size or change the size of the text box. But I couldn't find out how to, neither in Reader 8 nor in 9.
    Another Option would be to export it as a jpg or something. Can I do that somehow?
    Greetings

    > I can't imagine there's no way to change the font size...
    Yes, the form designer can change the font size. So can you if
    (a) you buy the same software - Acrobat Pro, and
    (b) the form is not protected - locked - by the form designer.

  • Font sizes changed on different boxes.

    Hello everyone,
    I have a dilemna regarding my SMARTFORMS. The problem goes that on the DEV box the font sizes and working ok but when the forms were transported to the Staging (STG) box, the font sizes are smaller than those from DEV box. I am using SMARTSTYLE and a custom font. I have checked the forms and smartstyle from both boxes and they are exactly the same. The custom font is also installed in SE73. Now I don't know what to do next. Please help.

    Hi ,
    You dont have to ask them to create a new one . They will configure printers to other clients . You ask them whether u have have to use lpo1 or some other device type for printing in ur client .
    I also faced the same problem . In development it worked fine where as in qa it gave the same font problems .
    your basis person might have created some different output device in place of  lp01 .
