Setting the font size

You can use the <font> tag to change text size in two ways: you can specify a fixed or relative size.

To specify a fixed size, enter <font size="n"> where n is a number in the range 1 to 7. The default size is 3. You might use the smallest size for a copyright statement or a disclaimer. For example:

A relative size is a number (preceded by the plus (+) or minus (-) sign) that indicates a size that is relative to the base font size. You use the <basefont> tag to set the base font size. The following example shows what happens if you use relative sizes:

Remember that font sizes don't map exactly to point sizes, but you can specify point sizes using Style sheets.

You can apply size changes to several paragraphs; just put the paragraphs inside the <font> tag.
