    Ok cheers I've gone through all of them but none seem to be the one I'm looking for

    Maybe I'm doing something stupid.

    I even tried adding: "font-size:10px;" to this:
    body {
    margin:0;
    padding:0;
    text-align:center;
    color:#555;
    font-family:Arial,sans-serif;
    background:#eee url("images/bg.png") repeat-x top center;
    }

    but still nothing. Any idea? This is the site btw

    Get yourself the Firebug add-on for Firefox. Right click on the text you want to size, choose inspect element and it will tell you what lines in the css are affecting the style. It's especially useful as some elements like td's and li's don't inherit the styles 'well'. Would also be a good idea to avoid using both pixels or ems - stick to one of them.

    Styles in the body tag won't overwrite other styles.

    e.g. the CSS class called myclass in this example will overwrite the styles for the body tag.
    [html]
    <body>
    <div class="myclass">
    blah
    </div>
    </body>
    [/html]

    It might be this part of your CSS:
    #content (line 152)
{
margin-left: 260px;
font-size: 16px;
background-color: transparent;
background-image: none;
background-repeat: repeat;
background-attachment: scroll;
background-position: 0% 0%;
padding-left: 15px;
padding-right: 15px;
}

    I would recommend you use pt for font size measuring. Verdana 10pt is this font in the forum. I personally find more confortable with pt measuring for fonts, and px measuring for object dimensions.

    But, by the way, can you please paste or point the text you want to change size?
