Changing the font size on a document-wide level
In most cases, the available font sizes for the standard classes are sufficient. Should you require a different font size for your document, use the extsizes package. It allows for the following font sizes: 8pt, 9pt, 10pt, 11pt, 12pt, 14pt, 17pt, 20pt .4 Answers. You can use the xcolor package. It provides extcolor{<color>}{<text>} as well as color{<color>} to switch the color for some give text or until the end of the group/environment. You can get different shades of gray by using black!
The standard font size switches are: iny , scriptsize , footnotesize , small , ormalsize , large , Large , LARGE , huge , and Huge . If you need to fine tune the size of a table, you can include it in a scalebox from the graphicx- or graphics-package and scale the table to fit.
Emphasizing text
In order to add some emphasis to a word or a phrase, use the emph{text} command, which usually italicizes the text. Italics may be specified explicitly with extit{text} .in TeXnicCenter you can select a block of text and then use Ctrl+Q to comment it out. The inverse operation is done with Ctrl+W.

If you really want to know, the default LaTeX font is called Computer Modern, and it is a member of the Didone family of fonts, which IMO are generally suited to titling or posters but not body text (which is why you've probably never read a book that was set in one). Examples of Didone fonts include Bodoni and Didot.
LaTex is much more elegant. There are several reasons for this, but one is simply because the spacing between words has a smaller standard deviation in LaTex compared to Word. And the best part is, LaTex does all the hard, potentially frustrating formatting work for you.
You can use Latex in Word. It provides macros for Microsoft Word that allow the use of LaTeX input to create equations images in both inline and display modes without having to install any software on the local computer.
LaTeX provides all of that: these are the 'macros' that it is made up of. In short TeX is all about formatting, for document/template designers, while LaTeX is all about content, for document writers. TeX is a typesetting system. LaTeX is a set of macros built on top of TeX.
Insiders pronounce the χ of TeX as a Greek chi, not as an 'x', so that TeX rhymes with the word blecchhh. It's the 'ch' sound in Scottish words like loch or German words like ach; it's a Spanish 'j' and a Russian 'kh'. When you say it correctly to your computer, the terminal may become slightly moist.
