How to Modify Section Label Font Size?

Hello, I am fairly new with REVIT and have what should be a very basic question that I cannot find an answer to. I would appreciate if someone can tell me how to edit the text, font and text size inside the Section Annotation Symbol. I have been able to successfully edit the text in the Level Symbols by right clicking the family, editing and then loading, but when I try the same with the Section Symbols and then reload the top and bottom lines inside the circle change size but won't show any text. What am I doing wrong? There must be a way to have text inside the circle in order to reference sections properly. What am I missing?

Thanks for your feedback to this inexperienced user.

That only shows 3 fields that I can edit and those are:
Section Head, Section Tail and Broken Section Display Style. None of these allows me to edit and/or add text inside the bubble(circle)...

Thanks.

YOu need to edit the family for the section tag. In the family editor you should be able to change the text size and font or create a new font label type from the type selector on the option bar.
