I’ve found adjusting the font size in the settings can help too! But shortcuts during composing are really useful for quick edits. Anyone else have shortcut tips?
Absolutely! Settings adjustments pair nicely with shortcuts. This combo can make emails really stand out!

I sometimes forget these shortcuts, but they sure do make a difference! I guess practice makes perfect?
I love using shortcuts for everything! Nothing beats typing Ctrl + + to bump up the size when I’m in a hurry. Who knew Gmail could be this friendly?
It seems like keyboard shortcuts can transform how we interact with our apps. Is there a shortcut for highlighting text too?
You can actually use Shift + Arrow keys to highlight text, Heather! This combined with size changes is a game changer. Who would have thought?
I often get confused between shortcuts on Gmail and other apps. It would be great if there was a universal way to change text size across apps!

Great idea, Jeff! I’d love a resource for this, especially because I forget them so easily. Any other tips aside from changing size?
I recommend using clear subject lines and bullet points in emails as they can enhance readability, similar to adjusting text size. Every little detail counts!
You all are so helpful! I’ve learned so much about Gmail shortcuts today. If only it were this easy in life, right? 
Totally relatable, Ashley! If only life had an undo shortcut too! But for now, let’s just embrace these Gmail tricks! 
It’s interesting how such small changes can improve our emailing experience. I’ll definitely be applying these shortcuts more often!
To change text size for individual emails while composing in Gmail on Android, you can use the formatting toolbar. Just select the text you want to change, tap on the ‘A’ icon, and choose your desired size for headings and body text.
That’s really helpful! Sometimes it’s tricky to figure out those formatting tools. Do you have examples of how to use different sizes effectively?

Changing text sizes can make your emails stand out! For instance, using larger text for headings can draw attention, while smaller sizes for body text keep things neat. What do you think about using bullet points too?
Agreed! I often find that a good header size helps organize the email better. Has anyone tried other formatting options?

I love how the formatting toolbar makes it easy to adjust text size. Just remember that consistency is key. Too many sizes can look chaotic.
Great point, laurenatkins! Consistency indeed makes a big difference. I usually stick to just two sizes: one for headings and another for body text. Keeps it clean!
