How To Change All Periods To Size 14 Or Make Periods Bigger On Google Docs?

Change all periods to size 14 or make periods bigger on google docs

People often mistake different punctuation marks because of their small size. For example, they mistake period with coma at different places. Therefore, it’s better to increase the size of those punctuation marks to make them clearly visible in the text.

By default, the size of the text is set to 11, so the size of periods in the text is also 11. Suppose you want to change the size of periods to 14 or make them bigger and don't know how to do it. Then, here you can learn all the possible methods to change the size of periods in google docs.

There are three methods available to change the size of periods in text. These are:

• Change the font size of periods manually
• Use the ‘Find and Replace’ add-on
• Change the font size of the whole text

So, let’s start with the first method.

• Change the font size of periods manually

If your document is not so long, you can change the period’s size to 14 or make the periods bigger by the following procedure.

1. Open the find dialogue box in the google docs by pressing Ctrl+ F.

3. Now you can change the size of the period manually. Select the first period and click + next to font size. Change the size to 14.
4. Jump to the next period with the help of an arrow available at the find dialogue box.

You can make the size even bigger from 14 if you want to.

• Use the 'Find and Replace' add-on

If you want to have more features on your google docs, you will have to install add-ons. Find and Replace add-on is a piece of software that gives you more facilitation in your content.
