Fonts re-sizing won't let me type my text in WORD 2016

[Guzeppi]

When I change the font size in WORD 2016,  the cursor or the font number pops up on the left of the new size chosen, thus not allowing me to type my text in WORD.

I keep getting the warning "This is not a valid number".

This is frustrating.   

Can anyone help, please?

Thanks in advance from an elderly pensioner.

Do you actually type in a number or do you select from the drop-down menu?

I select from the dropdown menu.

Did you try typing in a number?

After picking a font/font size, you have to click back in your document so that it receives what you type.
