I think the problem you're describing is the classic DPI difference of 72 for the Mac and 96 for the PC (which turns out to be a ratio of 1.33). Word documents composed on Windows at 100% look best on the Mac viewed at 75%, and Word documents composed on the Mac at 100% look best on Windows at 133%. This text size discrepancy caused by DPI differences applies to e-mail as well. I know we did a bunch of work in Entourage 10.1.4 to try to best accommodate users sending mail between Entourage and PC clients like Outlook. Taking a look at how the Word:Send To:HTML Recipient works, it looks like we are properly setting the point size in the source. It might appear bigger if the HTML renderer is displaying at 96 DPI, which I think IE does by default. -- To unsubscribe: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> archives: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.letterrip.com/> old-archive: <http://www.mail-archive.com/entourage-talk%40lists.boingo.com/>
