It's Calibri, not colibri, and like every other font, you can make it
just about any size you want. In Word, just enter the point size in
the box.

It was that change in behavior in, I think, Word 97 that really started
confusing people. At one time, it did suffice just to type it in. I'm not
sure why pressing Enter is so counterintuitive, but it is.

And the smallest is 4, and the smallest increment (in Word) is half a point.

. Largest - 1638pt

You're right, of course. Don't know what I was thinking, as I often format
paragraphs as 1 point (and recommend it) and I usually tell people "1 to
1638 points in half-point increments." I guess my brain is on vacation (my
granddaughter is visiting).
