How do I change my font size on my microsoft word, I have 12 right now but it doesnt look 12, its too big ?

I know how to change the font size, its just that it simply wont change. Like 12 is way bigger than what 12 normally is, its like 16. I dont understand why this is happening. Please help me computer ppl!!How do I change my font size on my microsoft word, I have 12 right now but it doesnt look 12, its too big ?
Check the zoom setting in the % box. In Word versions prior to Word 2007, it's right next to the 露 button. In Word 2007, it's on the View tab on the ribbon, in the Zoom group.



Normally, it should be at 100%.



Hope that helps.How do I change my font size on my microsoft word, I have 12 right now but it doesnt look 12, its too big ?
Are you zoomed in/out? Check your zoom level. If you're only seeing this in Word I would suspect that where your issue lies.
check your type of font that relly matters alot
