Use em or %.
Em is probably the best, but since IE6 has font-size:large as the
default, using font-size:1em for the body makes stuff look big in IE.
I usually use %'s. These work well, like the em, but it compensates for IE's larger-than-normal font size.

Hi WSG'rs,
I want to put the call out for submissions for a business case for
web standards for small business. I have reviewed a number of

standards that could be communicated to the small business community.

Eek...it's already bad enough when a PDF opens in the browser-based

Another option is to copy the text out of the PDF and stick it on the
page. I personally hate PDF's on sites (annoying to read). Especially
multi-page versions. Just think how that text would help your page rank
for that page if it wasn't a PDF...just a thought!

It's very nice Thierry.
IE/Mac cannot access it via keyboard though.
The only way I see around it is:
a) Ignore IE/Mac as it's now officially unsupported
b) Add an onkeypress event, check for enter key, do stuff. Messy.
