That is interesting: I never realised that the Ctrl+Shft+> worked after it
incremented to the max size listed in the Font size dialog. I'm sure this
must be a recent change as I am sure that earlier versions didn't do this.
It is a long time since I tried it though - maybe Word 2000 or earlier.

In W2010, it increments 72 > 80 and in increments of 10 pts thereon.

I never realized it, either, because I'd never tried it. I'll try to
remember it, though, since I do tend to change font size by 6-point
increments when I'm trying to fine-tune large type.
