Exporting Lexique Pro to LibreOiffice: font sizes

[Joyce Wood]

Hello, 

I am exporting a Toolbox dictionary via Lexique Pro, to a LibreOffice .odt document. Things are going great, it's doing what I want it to do, except that now I've noticed that many of the font sizes are 10pt and 11pt -- that's not going to be useful for our native speaker audience. 

I can't figure out how to fix this -- please help soon!

In the exported LibreOffice .odt, it looks there are font Styles, but each of them already say 12pt. (When I click on places in the text, it displays font sizes of 11pt, 10pt.) 

In Lexique Pro, I found Tools | Configure Font Styles. I manually changed many of those fields to larger font sizes. It displays differently in Lexique Pro, but so far has not impacted the font size of the exported document. 

thanks, 

Joyce

Update. 

My friend asked if I could simply Select All and change all the font sizes to the same size. 

Select All highlights everything within a Section, but yes, with clicking through this 20 times, I was able to simply change the font size of each section to 12pt font. In LibreOffice Writer.

Sounds like you already have a solution, but here is another option that should help in this situation.

If the style of the currently selected text is defined as 12pt, but what appears on the screen is different (10pt or 11pt), then that usually means that a font size has been applied manually to that portion of text. To clear any manual formatting, and return to the underlying style definition, select the text and select from the menu Format > Clear Direct Formatting. The keyboard shortcut for that is Ctrl+M. [There is also an option right below that one in the menu "Spotlight Character Direct Formatting", but that seems to be a fairly new feature, and in my experience a bit buggy, with bits of the spotlighted text appearing in other places that it shouldn't be...]  Once you clear any direct formatting, the text should be displayed using just the characteristics of the underlying style.

Hope that helps,

Jeff
