I have XP Home sp2.
Whenever I try to create an html file in edit mode (in rich text HTML mode)
or paste HTML in the source window and try to edit it in edit mode, I can
not change the size of the fonts. It is set at 12 right now and stays there.
I highlight text and try to change the size, no matter what, it jumps right
back to 12. The font color and name, bold, italic, underline etc. all work
fine except the font SIZE. The default size is set at 12 for both mail and
NG so I went and changed them to 8 to see if that made a difference, No
Soap, still 12. I am at my wits end with this thing. Any suggestions please
somebody????
Many thanks,
shadoe

Are you using Stationery?

IE Tools > Internet Options > General > Accessibility: Anything checked
here? If so, uncheck it.
