 * I need to make the button smaller and I do not need as much real estate around
   the text
 * How can I control the size of buttons
 * I use text size and that helps a little I do not know how this works when the
   button is selected, it just makes the button larger. I would also like to control
   how much real estate is around the button text

 * Hello [@petewatterschatsworth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/petewatterschatsworth/)
 * If I understand your question correctly, you are trying to adjust the button 
   padding around the text, you can do that by selecting the Button Block and then
   navigating to the Styles as shown in the screenshot here: [https://monosnap.ai/file/AeVr3TQithSBuNHkHluMFSM7e1vmHy](https://monosnap.ai/file/AeVr3TQithSBuNHkHluMFSM7e1vmHy)
 * This should reduce the area around your text by reducing the padding around it,
   making it appear smaller.
 * Hope this helps; please let me know how it goes.
 * Kind Regards,
    Saurabh
