I am an eighth grader that needs some help. I am a noob at anything TeX or LaTeX, and am just starting out. I am using USBTeX, just in case that matters.
I cannot seem to change the text size in the \documentclass[]{}
thingy in the beginning of the document. My TeX editor sets it to 10pt
at default, but when I try to change it to something different, nothing happens. Any ideas?
\documentclass[11pt]{...}
or\documentclass[12pt]{...}
? There are only certain sizes supported by certain document classes. What document class are you using? Also, what size do you want it to change to? Do you receive any errors/warnings when you compile? If so, what do they say?\Large
suitably adjusted, you might want to trymemoir
. Something like\documentclass[9pt,article]{memoir}
. It has lots more, too, and might be a good path for investing your learning time.
