ron,
any special reason font sizes are showing up as 3 instead of 2??

just curious, as I thought the "normal" font was 2

It depends on the font family, Lauren, as to what is "normal." Some type faces, like the Times you just used, are smaller than other faces, like the default Arial in my post. In an effort to keep the posts easily readable, the software bumps Times up a notch higher than Arial. I don't remember which fonts, specifically, are treated differently, other than those two?

Hey Lauren...

I'm the one that requested Ron to up the font on times new roman...simply because I think it is the friendliest of fonts to read, but the itty bitty type...was getting my old eyes tired and I had to go in and change it everytime I needed [wanted] to use it. I think a LOT of people were going in to change it from 2 to 3. Hope my request didn't inconvenience you!
