Change size of a section of pandoc text for docx rendering

Question

I'm trying to reduce the size of a section of text within a qmd document that needs rendering in docx.

I tried using a styled div:

---
title: "Test"
format: docx
---

The main text will be normal-sized.

::: {style="font-size: 10pt;"}
This block of text should be sized 10pt.
:::

Observed output:

Intended outptut:

Of note, my code works well in html.

Is there another way of doing this with a docx output?

format:
  docx:
    reference-doc: my-styled-reference.docx
---
