I created some HTML files for my webpage using Microsoft Word. If I
go to my webpage in Mozilla Firefox, changing the text size works. If
I go to it in Internet Explorer, the "text size" doesn't change the
size. Is there something I need to do so that IE users can change the
text size?

Go through the source code and change all font-size specs from px
to %. If it is very obviously small as displayed in IE, and you
want the relationship between this and the bigger normal text of
the body of the webpage to be preserved, try to see what the
equivalent is by experimenting with %.

(You won't one day when you have more time be wanting to be using
this software to create what is almost invariably awful mark up
and css... but this is btw. I give quick and dirty advice and
that is why I am shunned and laughed at by all...)

Microsoft Word is what you use to tell your mother-in-law that you'll
be away if she wants to visit. It is NOT a webpage editor. Never
was, never will be.

Get a decent one - Textpad, EditPad (even Lite), etc etc

Worse than Word is Frontpage and xls to html, btw.

I use editpad pro 6.0 for text. But I know very little HTML.

Thanks, that worked. Just guessing, I replaced:
10pt -> 40%
12pt -> 50%
16pt -> 80%
18pt -> 90%

The 40% is way too small. I can experiment around with it a little,
but are there any guidelines for the percentages? Is > 100% allowed?

You have to have Microsoft Office 2000 to install that program, and I
only have Word. :-{

Sure, I use 100% for normal text and 200% for <H1> and in between for
smaller headings. So everything is 100% or more. If I wanted tiny text
I would try 70% or thereabouts.
