Can't change font size

When I copy text from the Internet into Scrivener, and then try to reduce the font size, Scrivener will not allow the change, even when I select all the text to be altered. This is perplexing because other properties of the text, such as font type can be easily changed, just not the SIZE.

What is causing this anomaly and how can I circumvent it?

I cannot reproduce this. :confused:

Can you give us some more info? Are you pasting into a text document? Into a document note? Are you pasting with Ctrl-V or Shift-Ctrl-V?

How are you trying to change the font size? The fonts submenu (F4)? The Ctrl->/Ctrl-< commands? The format toolbar?
