Hello! I have a feeling that I’m just overlooking something simple, but I could definitely use some help. The basic issue is that I have one deck with a very small font size, and nothing I try to do is making the font bigger. The full explanation: I currently have two decks in Anki. One has a perfectly reasonable, usable font size. The other has teeny tiny text for ants. ![Screenshot 2025-10-28 112557](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/e/4/e4071b3c6b828ae0c155b37b6490c54fb500a588.png) I have tried to change this by going to Edit → Cards, and then selecting Styling, but this has no visible effect. However, the spacing around the words in the cards does appear to be changed, which you can see in the preview: ![Screenshot 2025-10-28 113645](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/3/3/3392aa17f4603fa6eee4095e2b310ca6327d1cc9.png) and ![Screenshot 2025-10-28 113740](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/anki2/original/3X/2/f/2fca93455dd24b83bb15c6970edc88c2d4a9115e.png) I also tried going to Fields and changing the Editing Font size just in case that might help, but that also didn’t change anything. I’m not sure what to try next - does anyone have suggestions? ---

Click the “\<\>” button in the note editor to see the HTML of the fields. ---

Is there any way to apply those changes to all cards in the deck, or am I going to need to change every field on every card individually? ---

You can do a find and replace to remove the spans. If you’re making the cards yourself, make sure you copy past without html; there is a setting for that. ---

I found the find and replace and it’s fixed now, thank you! I also realize why this happened in the first place now - I had no idea that I was pasting the card information in with HTML, like you said, and something must have been carried in from my Google Sheet with the vocabulary. I appreciate the help! ---
