Hi sungy,

I am now on a Windows platform and have Microsoft Word available to me.
If you have not yet found a solution to your problem try the following: 
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;
use Win32::OLE::Const 'Microsoft Word';

my $file_name = "c:\\temp.doc";
my $Word = Win32::OLE->new('Word.Application');

$Word->{'Visible'} = 1;     
my $document = $Word->Documents->Open($file_name) || die("Unable to op
+en document", Win32::OLE->LastError());
my $Selection = $Word->Selection;
$Selection->WholeStory;
$Selection->Font->{'Size'} = '9';
$Word->Documents($file_name)->Save();
$Word->Quit();

Let me know if you have any problems.

Hope this helps.

Martin

Update: Doh!, I should have updated my first post rather than create a second, thats what I get for doing to many things while eating lunch :)
