No, it's not. I write mainly manuscripts, which follow very particular guidelines for type setting (12 pt. Courier, never Courier New, double-spaced, left aligned). I also don't like 10 pt. text -- it's too small on paper, and it forces me to zoom Word, which sometimes doesn't track the space between words perfectly. It's another annoying workaround for something that shouldn't need a workaround. Why should I have to work in a way that I don't like to work to accommodate the incomplete functionality of the email authoring portion of Entourage? Why DO fonts change sizes between Word and Entourage? That just makes no sense.
