When copying text from MS Word and pasting into PS, the selected font size (12 pt) appears as what looks like 6 pt, only just legible. Has anyone had this problem?

Hey richarde95564158, Thanks for reaching out.

I'll need more details to help you. What version of Photoshop and Windows are you using? Could you please share a screenshot of the text?

Try using CTRL + Shift + V, It removes any previous formatting that might be getting picked up when you're copying text.

Hi Shivani,

Thanks for the message. It looks like the problem is a bug in the PS type
tool.
(I am using W 11 and PS v. 25.12.0.806)

Instead of copying and pasting, when I type into the doc with 12 pt
selected, it types as 6 pt. When I type with 24 pt selected, it appears as
12 pt. so there seems to be a factor of 2 at work.

The attached screenshot may help to explain

Can you tell us what the PPI (Pixels per Inch) is for the image?

What does it say for the size in the options bar, Properties panel, or Character panel?
