Think it uses the "Alternate" size font (which is also used for
subscripts, superscripts, etc. so be careful!)

Is there a way to change the size of small caps? They're not small
enough for me. :) Couldn't find anything on that in the online help or
the manual. Aside: The manual lists only page 112 for Small Caps but the
entry is actually on 113 (and non-informative). What's up with THAT?

This may be kind of a kludge but I am copying an old book (eventually to
convert to pdf and distribute to a small audience) that uses small caps
almost to excess.
What I do is simply type everything in caps and then select the letters
or portions of words that need to be small caps, rtclk, select text
properties and change the size. Any size you want.
Just a thought.

There is an icon in the Property Bar (when text is selected) will apply the
Small Caps attribute. The size of the small caps is controlled in the
Alternate Size field when you're in Paragraph Tag Properties/Font/Settings.
These settings are different from those for Super/Subscripts.
You can also use a Character Tag and one of the properties is Case which can
be set to Uppercase. You can control the size of the font in the character
tag.
The difference between using these two methods is that if you use the Small
Caps attribute the cap size can be different for each paragraph tag (but
doesn't have to be). If you use a character tag the cap size will be the
same throughout.
