Text Formatting ⇒ Font Size and Color of Text in Table

[karic_a]

Usually I change color with \textcolor and size with \fontsize but I need to make some words in table red and with size of 8pt. So I have problems with using two commands for one word.

Also how to change font size in the whole table? (I did it by using \fontsize command for every cell, but I know it is not a good solution )

thx


Edit:
Sorry for posting here, I have just solved my first problem. Now I only need how to change font size for the whole table. Although its a wrong place now

I have just solved my first problem.

It would be nice if you'd posted your solution so others could benefit, too

Anyway, I'd suggest to define your own command for that. Since you didn't post a minimal working example I cannot know what your base font size or document class is, so I post a solution that will always choose 8pt as font size although I think the size should be defined relative to the surrounding text instead of a fixed size.

Code: Select all

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\makeatletter
% choose 8pt as font size:
\newcommand*\specialhighlightsize{\@setfontsize\scriptsize\@viiipt{9.5}}
% set color and font size:
\newcommand\specialhighlight[2][red]{\textcolor{#1}{\specialhighlightsize#2}}
\makeatother
\begin{document}

Text \specialhighlight{highlighted} Text \par
\large Text \specialhighlight[green]{highlighted} Text \par
\small Text \specialhighlight{highlighted} Text \par
\tiny Text \specialhighlight{highlighted} Text

\end{document}
