To force the button to pop up, you can do any of the following:

1. Apply the formatting to text.

2. Press the Typing Tool (the I-beam) and then click somewhere in your text.

3. Press the ESC key on the keyboard.

MORE INFORMATION
================

Routine behavior of the Letter Size tool would be to either:

  to apply the format.

- Select the text for which you would like to change the font size, click the
  Letter Size tool, and then choose the size you want.

Either method allows the tool to operate correctly.
