Copying and pasting that reveals its VERDANA 8 point.

place this between the <head> and </head> tags

HTML Code:

<style type="text/css">
<!-- 
body { 
	FONT-SIZE: 8pt; 
	COLOR: #000000; 
	TEXT-DECORATION: none; 
 	FONT-FAMILY: Verdana;
 } 
-->
</style>

I've never thought of that. What did you paste it into?

I think the copying and pasting works in any word processer. It probably works in just about any program that lets you change the text style.

One thing about font size though is that using 8pt makes no sense on the web. 'pt's are a measure for print that have no meaning online. You should always use 'px' for an absolute font size and even better use something liquid like 'em' so site visitors can make the text larger or smaller if they need.
