Decrease Text Size in Appendix

Post by CSMR »

I'm using the article class. Mostly fine, except the appendix text is the same size as the normal text. How do I make it small?

Selecting it and making the text small makes the section and subsection headings small too, and creates problems with copying and pasting. Ideally everything should be 1 size smaller than it is normally.

Many thanks

Decrease Text Size in Appendix

Post by CSMR »

I have made some progress on this. Inserting the following code before the appendix reduces the size of most elements:

Code: Select all

\let\Huge=\huge
\let\huge=\LARGE
\let\LARGE=\Large
\let\Large=\large
\let\large=\normalsize
\let\normalsize=\small
\let\small=\tiny
\let\footnotesize=\small
\let\scriptsize=\small
However none of this changes the size of text in the proof environment. I need to find a way to do this, especially as almost all the text in my appendices is in the proof environment.
