How can I change the font size of non-English text, such as Persian, in a Word document?

Clc; clear;
wordapp=actxserver(word.application);
wordapp.visible=true;
doc=wordapp.Documents.Add;
paramod=dic.Paragraphs;
paranoid.alignment=1;
for i=1:2 para=paramod.add;
    paraman=para.Range;paraman.Text=’سلام’;
    paraman.Font.Size=16*i;
    paraman.InsertParagraphActer;
end

Hi @Majid kh,

There are multiple ways to modify the font size of non-English text in a word document using MATLAB. Following are the two methods you can use:

Method 1: Using the Selection Object

clc; clear; 
wordapp = actxserver('Word.Application'); 
wordapp.Visible = true; 
doc = wordapp.Documents.Add; 
selection = wordapp.Selection; 
persianText = 'سلام'; 
% First paragraph 
selection.TypeText(persianText);  
selection.Font.Size = 16;          
selection.TypeParagraph;            
% Second paragraph with larger font 
selection.TypeText(persianText);   
selection.Font.Size = 32;           
selection.TypeParagraph;           
% Clean up (optional) 
% doc.Close;   
% wordapp.Quit;   
% delete(wordapp);

Result:

Method 2: Using the Content Object with Inline Range Formatting

clc; clear;
wordapp = actxserver('Word.Application');
wordapp.Visible = true;
doc = wordapp.Documents.Add;
range1 = doc.Content;
% First Persian text
range1.Text = 'سلام';           
range1.Font.Size = 18;          
range2 = doc.Content;
range2.InsertParagraphAfter; 
% Second Persian text
range2.InsertAfter('سلام');     
range2.Font.Size = 30;         
% Clean up (optional)
% doc.Close;
% wordapp.Quit;
% delete(wordapp);

Result:

If you need dynamic paragraph insertion and more flexibility -> Use Method 1 (Selection Object).

If you want to format larger selections or entire content efficiently -> Use Method 2 (Content Object).

Hope this helps!
