Default sizing svg files in Word 365

I have some .svg files of Hebrew letters that I want to import into Word and spell words with, then I will put the English meaning below the word I spelled in Hebrew.



So I bought some great .svg files of Hebrew letters from CutCasters and I know how to put them into Word but I don't know how to size them.

How do I size them?

Can I select all the letters at once and size them all in one go, so hopefully they would maintain their proportions?

Is there anyway to make the word like an object, so that the word becomes one unit or object?
Also, it might make it easier to cut and paste whole words when I start to make sentences, if, I start to make sentences.

Thank you for considering my question.

Instead of using SVG images of letters, why not use the letters themselves? Numerous Windows fonts include Hebrew characters, including pointing.

Default wont export to Inkscape

To get Hebrew characters in Word I have to be in Arial font and insert them as Symbol but when I cut and paste those symbols into Inkscape, they show up as normal letters.

So it does not work, but nice try.

I wish you would have been right, that would have made my life a lot easier. Unless, I am missing something.

Have I missed a step?

and Thanks for answering

Not so. They are supported in multiple fonts and can be inserted via a suitably-configured keyboard or via the appropriate Unicode character sequences. I have inserted a considerable amount of Hebrew (and Greek) text into Word documents and Excel workbooks, along with their English meanings.

Your original post made no mention of Inkscape, which is a is a vector graphics editor. Inkscape's limitations have nothing to do with Word.
