    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
