Hi

I searched about google, but it seems that the only way to have a 10 or
11 pt font size is, again, by using styles. Am I right?

Thanks

Unless you insist on using Computer Modern with a word processing
programm (yes, it can be done, at least with the OTF versions of these
fonts), or Times New Roman/Cambria with LaTeX (again possible thanks to
their OTF incarnation) and slaving to force LaTeX choices on Word (or
Word choices on LaTeX, much harder and probably abysmally stupid), your
resulting documents will vary for much larger reasons : floats
handling, table structures, layout structure, different ligatures,
different kernings, etc...

Add maths and bibliographic references to the mix, and your chances of
obtaining "the same result" are about those of a snowball in Sirius'
photosphere...

BTW: since most of what is typeset nowadays will be used as PDF, HTML
and/or epub (and paper-printed only for archival purposes), it is high
time to revisit typography funamentals (currently based on more than 5
centuries of use of the *physics* of the "paper" medium) to adapt them
to the physics of computer display and the physiology of human reading
of this new medium (which is *not* the same as "paper" reading).

This dautingly complex task has not yet attracted the attention of our
myriads of "communication specialists", who also carefully shun the
problem of retinking what should be the layout of a publication aimed
at electronic media and embalm the habits (such as justification,
pagination, foot- and end-notes, bibliographic references and entries,
indexes, etc...) born of 5 centuries of paper-printed, codex-bound 
publications...

HTH,
