What? Did you try this out ahead of time? First, the created Pedigree pages 
don't even use CSS at all. They rely solely on the supposedly "outdated" <Font 
Size> tags. But as I said, these tags work just fine with any browser. With 
that being said, try editing the HTML code for any of the names in a Pedigree 
box. The created pages all have <Font Size="1"> as a default so try increasing 
it to 2, or 3, or 4, or even 5. Since the data is text inside of a table box, 
what happens is WORD WRAP. The names or dates being edited will all still fit 
inside of a box, nothing is lost.

Of course, the word wrapped names may not look so nice on the finished page. 
And what I am saying is that if the OP (or any other Legacy user) was taking 
the time and effort to learn how to modify the HTML code to increase font size, 
then that person would most likely learn about increasing the width of the 
table data box. That tag is very close to the <Font Size> tab and looks like 
<TD Width="139">. Making both tags have a larger number would result in exactly 
what the OP desired. But as mentioned before, the viewers can always zoom their 
own browser to view small text so Legacy users don't really have to learn how 
to edit HTML unless they want to add some of their own bells and whistles to 
the code such as background pictures, different colors, additional info, etc.

I used to bemoan the fact that the created web pages in Legacy seemed too 
simplistic and lacked a lot of options but I have since changed my mind and 
feel that the Legacy programmers have taken the right approach. For the 
neophyte user, Legacy can quickly create useable web pages and get themselves 
exposed on the Internet as desired. Beyond that, the Legacy user would need to 
open door #2 or #3 and learn how to modify the created HTML code and Cascading 
Style Sheets. Those two doors are not within the realm of Legacy's purpose.

Brian,

You overlook one problem, if one increases the font size alone then for 
Pedigree pages, the names and details no longer fit in the boxes
