I was composing a letter using Microsoft Word program and I've hit a key or something and new text is coming out tiny. I'm using Times new Roman, font size 12. When I highlight the problem text it says I'm using TNR, font size 12.
I can increase the size to match the rest of the letter but I have to select font size 24 to do so.What have I done wrong. Thank you in advance.

Select all. Change the font name back to one it can find on your PC, like "Times Roman" ?
Sounds like you've hit subscript by mistake. Go to your home tab look at the font tab and you will see two menu tabs one has an x with a 2 underneath the other and x with a 2 above. The tab with the x2 underneath may be highlighted -click it to un highlight it and that should work. If this sounds confusing go to the MS word help box, type in sub-script and it will give you step by step instructins

I did as you suggested old geezer and it worked with some other fonts but when I went back to TNR font size 12 the problem re-appeared.
Retrochick. Where is my Home tab? I did go to the help page but it is too confusing.Thanks
That is probably because your PC doesn't know/find a font named 'TNR'. Select 'Times New Roman' from the list ?
You didn't say what version of MS Office you were using. Subscript is a possibility. Select the text then look at the format text menu option, wherever you find it. See if that is the issue.
In the far left corner of your screen you will see the MS word logo -four coloured squares. Right of these are tabs -home-insert-page layout etc. If you're not already on the Home tab click it and you will see various options on this tab including a box which tells you what font and what size it is. Under that will be a long box with B (BOLD) I (italic) U (underline) abc (strike through) then the X with small 2 below it -if this box is a different colour to the other boxes then its highlighted which means you are in subscript . Click it and it will turn back to blue grey -highlight all the text and put it back into TNR12. Hope this works if not I'm stumped!
