Font limitation in MSAccess richtext edit tool

Using MSAccess (2010+) richtext control. However, edit tool provides only limited number of font point sizes e.g. 6,8,10, 12; compared to editing within Word that provides e.g 8,9,10,11,12

This is driving my client mad as they wish to save text using 11pt - but this point size is not available.

Has anybody else observed this issue and is there a possible solution

You can't select 11pt, because Access Richtext (actually HTML) doesn't store point sizes, but a fixed set of <font size=1> to <font size=7>.

You can inspect this by adding a textbox with the same control source, but with TextFormat = Plain text.

What you can do is to set the FontSize property of the rich text box to 11. Then all text where no font size is specified, will be shown at 11pt.

Example

It will even show 11 in the format toolbar for regular text.
