Altering Font Size

In most word processing programs, font size is measured in points and the 

average size is 12 points. Font size in FrontPage is measured on a scale from 1 

to 7, with the average size being 3.

Let's increase the body font size to 4, which is equivalent to 14 points in a 

word processor.

1.

Select the body text by clicking and dragging over the text

To change the font size, on the Font Size drop down list,

,   4 (14 pt)

The font size increases.

Altering Font Color

Now we want to select a dark font color for the body text. The default back 

ground color is white. It's a good design principle to use high contrast 

between the background and body text colors. With a light background, a dark 

text color will make the content easier to read.

1.

Make sure the body text is still selected.
