I am using the MS Office Report Express VI and it always inserts text/data in 10 point font. I opened the front panel of the express VI and I can't seem to find a section referencing the font size. How can I modify the text to insert at 12 point font?

MS Office Report Express VI don't provide edit font option. However, the font size can be edited in Microsoft Word/Excel template. 
 
  1. Open existing Microsoft Word template that you want to used. If you want to design new template, open Microsoft Word blank document.
  2. Add and edit content (font size, font style etc.) to your template.

If assigned input to Express VI, these inputs will be exported to the word template and be edited based on word template settings.
