Change Font Size In Text Callout - Adobe docs are **terrible**

[MattGreer]

Why do I have to post here instead of finding this in the Adobe Acrobat documentation??

I blindly attempt to use their documentation whenever I actually have to "do" something with a PDF instead of just reading it.  And I NEVER find what I'm looking for.  /smh

Anyway, simple thing I want to do, decrease the ridicoulys size of the default font in a text callout in Adobe Acrobat Acrobat XI Pro.  You people charge hundreds of dollars for this software and your documentation doesn't cover this??  Thank goodness I have Bluebeam.  Adobe Acrobat can't perform basic tasks, it seems.

But, let's see what the community has to offer since Adobe depends on you all to support their software it seems:

• No answer here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/change-default-font-for-all-text-callouts/m-p/106...
• No answer here, fillable text boxes but this forum suggested it as a possible answer: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/changing-font-size-in-fillable-text-box/m-p/10563...
• Oh, here's something here.  Why is it on someone else's website??  Can't Adobe document their stuff? https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/how-do-i-change-the-font-size-in-comment-text-box... Oh wait, crap, that's for a sticky note.  Still nothing.

Incorrect answer here: https://community.adobe.com/t5/acrobat-discussions/text-box-comments-changing-font-size/m-p/1975284 ctrl-e just opens up props for the callout box, not the font

Not only that, but the search mechanism here is terrible as well.  I went to duckduckgo to get the answer for this.  Hopefully my post will show up when someone else has the misfortunate of attempting to perform simple tasks in Acrobat.

To change the text in a callout, go into the callout and select the text you want to edit, *then* hit ctrl-e to get the properties for the text.

Hey adobe, it would make sense if someone selects the properties for a text callout, or anything, that it would show the properties for the FONT as well.

Thanks mattg16300633.  One would think that a company as large as Adobe that they could put this simple fix in/one their website.

Properties for the FONT as well - yes, that would be nice!

I have soled this by just pasting the text into the callout box from E.g. Word, then it will keep the formatting...
