Getting the text font to change size

[leighd]

Hi there.
I've set up all my pages to have the same font and size, but they don't all look that way once I view the actual site. My home page and a few others have the larger size I want; others have something that looks more like 10 pt. I've deleted those pages' info and retyped in the larger font (I've also tried typing it as the larger font in Word and doing a copy/paste), but it always reverts back. How can I get the smaller font to bump up so my pages are the same?

Thanks!

Hi Leigh,

The font and size, as well as other characteristics (bold, italic, etc) has nothing to do with how you type them into your HTML.  The way text/pages display in your browser is controlled by Style Sheets (CSS), or the now deprecated HTML <font> tag.  I'm guessing you are new to all this ?  You should probably find a web developer to help you out in these situations.  In the meantime, try putting this tag in your page just before the text:

<span style="font-family: arial; font-size: 10pt;">

You can change "arial" to whatever font you like, and of course the "10" to whatever font size you want.  Then, put this tag this right after your text:

</span>

Let me know if this works, at least until you get a developer to help you   Good luck and have a blessed day.

Yes, I'm still pretty new. This is my second site using WebBuilder, but my first one didn't do this way.

When you say to add that tag, do you mean I"ll go to the HTML version of the page and add it before everything? (I know, that just proves how much I don't know)

Yes, that <span ....> tag needs to go into your HTML document, just before the text.  I've not used WebBuilder before, so I don't know how that comes into play.  There should be a way in that package to do what you want.  I was only offering a temporary fix until someone could help you with a more permanent, across-the-board, change to handle the text/content in the whole system.

Good luck and have a blessed day.

if you are using SohoLaunch, the type font is set in the template you are using.  You would need to have knowledge of CSS etc to go in and change specific instances of fonts.  You could also look at other templates to see if one of those uses a font more to your liking.

We STRONGLY recommend against ever copy and pasting from Word since many hidden attributes also get copied in.  When a customer gives us a word document we copy it into Notepad prior to inserting it into the web page and then hand edit all 'style' changes.
