Not a suggestion, but a question:

How does one change the type size in a posting? There is a button whose function is to enable size changes, but it appears to do nothing other than insert a command that doesn’t take effect. I’ve tried it, with and without the superscript and subscript buttons, but no change occurs on the screen.

Change the number that "size" is set equal to. The button inserts the default setting of "size=2", which must be edited to show a change.

This is "size=3".

This is "size=1".

I tried .5, but it didn’t work.  It gave me plain 5.  (There was one time I was feeling really sheepish…)

Tried that. My screen shows no size variation at all. Next: A check with another browser.

Ten minutes later: Explorer 5.0 and Netscape 6.2 show the size variations. My browser of choice, Netscape 4.7, doesn’t.

As I said once before:

This is a size=8, and shows in REALLY GARGANTUAN letters in IE 6.

Size Samples, which seem to max out at 7 in IE 6:
0
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12

In my browser, 0 and 1 seem to be the same size (the smallest), and 2 and 3 seem to be the same size (next largest), followed by 4, 5, 6, and 6, each increasingly larger.  Sizes 8 and above seem to be the same size as 7.  This is probably a browser and/or font function.

Size 12 for:

[font=Verdana]Verdana[/font]
[font=Times]Times[/font]
[font=Courier]Courier[/font]
[font=Arial]Arial[/font]

In my browser, 0 and 1 seem to be the same size (the smallest), and 2 and 3 seem to be the same size (next largest), followed by 4, 5, 6, and 6, each increasingly larger.  Sizes 8 and above seem to be the same size as 7.  This is probably a browser and/or font function.

Opera shows 0 and 1 the same size then steadily increases through to 7 whence all are the same.

Once again the adage is bourne out: size isn’t as important as content.

Not necessarily. Silver, someone with very bad eyesight (or legally blind but with a smattering of vision) would very likely be glad they could up the font size to something more closely approximating visible for them.

WOW!

~Silver, the impressed

this is how you spend your time at work?

Well, normally, I get Sundays off, though not always. Happily, this time I got lucky.

An excellent example of divergent thinking at work!

Thank you Stargazer. So the Edward de Bono seminar fee wasn’t entirely wasted.  ;D
