I understand that design view could differ from browser view. However; my
problem is that it is not consistent. In browser view the fonts from 8pt and
up appear much bigger then they are in design view. I beleive 8pt looks like
12pt. The fonts are in browser view from 7pt and down they look exactly the
same.

I appreciate your help as I am struggling with this problem for quite a
while. Since the fonts in 10 pt and even 8 pt look much bigger than what I
intend to use and 7 pt is a real 7 pt I have a big gap in font sizes.
Here is an example: (I am using Frontpage 2003 & have no knowledge of the
codes)
Thank you

v:shapes="_x0000_s1083"></span><![endif]></font></b></p>
<p><font size="1"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">When I am using 8pt fonts or up they look much
bigger in the browser view than in design view. Eg: 8 pt looks
like 12 pt.</font></p>
<p> </p>
<p><font style="font-size: 7pt">When I am using 7 pt or smaller they
appear as big as in design view.</font><font size="1"> </font></p>
<p> </p>

Points are a print metric, designed for pages that have inch/centimeter
dimensions, not for screens that are made from pixels.

Try using pixels for your unit and see if you achieve more consistency - you
should.

Thank you Murray for the quick answer; however I do not know how to change
point to pixel. Here is my website that I'm working on, it might help to
shad some light on my problem. http://www.searchenginelocator.com

Also as you can see on my web page if I copy the text from other microsoft
programs they are 'stable' they are the same size in browser view.
Thanks

Look at your code view
<P class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma">
This is 10 pt Tahoma written in word and copied into FrontPage.
</SPAN></P>
<FONT face=Tahoma size=2>This is 10 pt Tahoma written in FrontPage</FONT>

The 1st one is using a span style w/ 10pt - no html formatting
The 2nd one is using a html font size 2 (default is usually 10 pt)
- until the user changes their browser using View Text Size

Thanks for the info. If I said I understood it that would be a lie.
My interpretation though is: point is not a reliable way to define the size
of a font in FrontPage. According to Murray using pixel instead of point
would solve the problem; however searching all sorts of help options I could
not come up with the answer how could I make that change.
Please message me back how to define fonts in pixel.
Thanks

To re-use a line from your code:

Use CSS to specify font units other than points. Or edit the code directly
as Ron has shown.
