I am having the hardest time trying to figure this out. Ive downloaded about 3 plugins to no avail.

How can i alter font sizes and style in wordpress in the same paragraph? When i copy paste from word it gets all messed up and there is no way within wordpress to actually change the font like you can in word.

is there a solution?

  • Uh, Wordpress has a WYSIWYG editor, much like Word. You can easily change fonts and so on.

    I would not paste from Word, because that brings in a lot of junk. Copy from Word into Notepad to get rid of that, then from Notepad into Wordpress and then add the formatting.

    • where is the wysiwyg editor? is it the "paste from word" button? That doesnt change font size.

  • There is an "paste from Word" in the Wordpress editor you could try. But, like Chris said Word brings a lot of crap usually. If you do switch to HTML code and make sure their isn't a bunch of extra html in there you don't need. I don't much like using the Wordpress WYSIWYG because it is very buggy.
  • I believe that you can also change the stylesheet to adjust the default font size.
  • What's wrong with that? Do you want bigger text or not?

    You can always switch to the Code tab and enter the font tags directly.

    • well if i highlight txt and try to make it bigger by using headings they bold everything out. I guess i can have the whole page bold. yeah i guess ill have to just go into the html and change everyhting by hand.

  • No, sorry I didn't read your post right. If you want to change the default text size for good you need to edit your CSS file. You can also use pretty much any html tags inside the Wordpress HTML editor like:

    Code:
    <font size="5">Here is a size 5 font</font>
  • You can try an advanced editor plugin like this one:
    WordPress › TinyMCE Advanced WordPress Plugins

    But, I am not sure how great these work. I would read the reviews first.
  • I use deansFCKeditor for wordpress works wonders, and is the best plug in i use on my wordpress blog.

    with it you can change the font style,size and color plus more...

    Here is a video a i made to show one of the uses i use this for.

    YouTube - a must have Wp-Plugin
    A quick search on wordpress plugins and you should easily be able to find it for downloading.
