2 languages. How to enlarge the size of 1 of them

Hello everyone,

If I compose an e-mail mostly in English, but one or two words in other language. How or can I enlarge the size of the words of " other language " while the English words remain in default size ? Thank you.

First, note that *whether* you can do this depends on whether you send
mail in html or plain text. You can do this in html, but not in plain
text.

Second, specifically *how* to do it in html depends on what E-mail
client you use, but in general you would select the word you want to
be larger, and then go the fonts dialog and choose a larger font.

Third, the standard way to indicate a foreign language is not larger
text, but italics.

Finally,be aware that many people (I'm one of them) choose to read all
E-mail in plain text, regardless of whether you send it in html or
not, so what you want to do would be lost on us anyway--whether you
make it larger or put it in italics.

Normally, you just "Select, highlight" the text you want to change, then
alter the style(Times New Roman, etc), and size(10, 12, 14, etc) from your
choices above, where you are writing the message
