use a font tag.

<font size=-1> (a small font)

Wow, that was quick!

in the following where would you place the font tag?

<STYLE TYPE=&quot;text/css&quot;>
p{ color: black; font-size: 10pt; font-weight:bold; font-family: arial }
-->
</STYLE>

</head>

<body bgcolor=&quot;#0000FF&quot; link=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; vlink=&quot;#FFFF00&quot; alink=&quot;#FF9900&quot;>

<div align=&quot;center&quot;>
<center>

<table BORDER=&quot;1&quot; CELLSPACING=&quot;0&quot; BORDERCOLOR=&quot;#000000&quot; CELLPADDING=&quot;2&quot; WIDTH=&quot;462&quot;>
<tr>
<td WIDTH=&quot;454&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;16&quot;>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;>
<font color=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;>Below are the Area Groups and their Councillors</font>
</p>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td WIDTH=&quot;454&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;16&quot;>
<p align=&quot;center&quot;>
<font color=&quot;#FFFFFF&quot; face=&quot;Arial&quot;>By clicking on the Area you will be taken to the
relevant list of Chapters in that area</font>
</p>
</td>
</tr>
</table>

</center>
</div>
<div align=&quot;center&quot;>
<center>

<table BORDER=&quot;1&quot; CELLSPACING=&quot;0&quot; bordercolor=&quot;#00FF00&quot; CELLPADDING=&quot;2&quot; WIDTH=&quot;460&quot; height=&quot;2329&quot;>
<tr>
<td WIDTH=&quot;954&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;16&quot; colspan=&quot;5&quot; bgcolor=&quot;#000000&quot;>
<b><p><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot; COLOR=&quot;#ffff00&quot;>
<p ALIGN=&quot;CENTER&quot;>AREA COUNCILLORS</font></b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td WIDTH=&quot;42&quot; BGCOLOR=&quot;#00ff00&quot; HEIGHT=&quot;28&quot;><b><u><font FACE=&quot;Arial&quot; COLOR=&quot;#000000&quot;>

I think I have set all the page to be displayed at 10pt font by using the CSS stylesheet.

I want to ensure that the browser will display at 10pt even if it doesn't support CSS - If I use a <font size 10pt> at the beginning and </font size> at the end of the page will that do it??

Sorry to be so thick!
