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 They rely solely on the supposedly "outdated" 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.
