    Selecting text within excel, then making that text bold auto-reduces font size..WHY?

    I write a lot of contract proposals in excel...something has been bothering me for years.
    Say i have a line of text 'plumbing/mechanical: includes all piping, conduit, electrical, accessories'
    & i ONLY want to make the 'plumbing/mechanical' portion BOLD....when i do this it auto-reduces the text i am trying to make bold, everytime.
    Usually it takes it from 14pt font to 10pt and then i have to manually make the font the same as the rest of the text again, not the worst problem but a bit of a hassle.

    I have never been able to figure this out and today i decided to ask the experts.

    Thanks in advance,

    Welcome to the Forum Megafari!

    I have been using Excel for at least 15 years and have never seen the behavior you describe. I just did this in Excel 2013 just to be sure and it didn't change the font size. I could not find anything in the options settings that could affect this.
