If MSDN is going to display different font sizes from version to version, then they should also provide some mechanism to ensure that IT AND ONLY IT is affected by a user's choice/need to change the font size. As it is now they can go to microscopic next time and that will force me to have everything ELSE in HUGE. Changing it back and forth depending is just not my idea of an "XPerience".

Jim;

I agree with you. If we had to resize our Browsers everytime we went to a different page - forget it! I guess it is just another one of those things I call a "Browser Experience". Too bad Microsoft cannot be consistant in matters like this. Perhaps we can convert MSDN to PDF format and that will solve everything! I am ducking in case you throw something!

It has been a long day - with lots of interesting web related problems - but never fear! Visual Studio 7.0 will solve everything that ailes you - if and when it ever comes out.

Tom
