I've created cells in a main table so sections of text can be easily updated. In one of the cells the text is supposed to be Arial size 8pt. When I preview it, it becomes smaller, but size 10pt is too big. Why does it change and is there a way round it?

Is this in preview or when you publish? do you have code available to see? DeZiner

It's when I preview either using the preview option in FP or in my Browser

Make sure you save before viewing. If that doesn't help throw your code up here so we can check. DeZiner

as you can see, if you switch between Noraml and Preview modes, this
text becomes smaller and does not look as good - whatever happened to
WYSIWYG? Yet what I can do is add a picture and use the 'Text over
Picture' function. Then it appears properly! - see above the text is
over the coloured box (a gif file), here the text is over the background
- what on earth is going on?? - what's the best way round this??</font></font></p>
