    I'm still relatively new here and still trying to fumble my way through this conversion from Word to DocBook. It is definitely hard to teach an old dog new tricks.

    I am using XMLmind DocBook Editor Professional Edition 7.0.0 to generate users guides that have been in word for many years. At this point, I'm basicially copying word and pasting as word into the editor. That is about all I know how to do. Sure there is lots more to learn, but not understanding the programming language, I feel I'm at a real disadvantage here.

    I would like to be able to change the font size to have the following information fit as written below. Certainly would appreciate some help in this, I've gone through as much documentation as possible to find how to change font size, with no luck that I've seen.

    Hi!

    Unfortunately, when I had the same task (ancient guides in Word format and introducing DocBook in our project), I finally had to do it just like this - Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V. My research showed that you would still have to reformat document after it had been converted using some existing tools.

    As for font size, I don't really get you. What is the planned output format for your documentation? And what tools are you going to use for preparing final documents?
