I don't know how or where to put "font size" commands in my website and it's all a bit hit-and-miss at the moment. Like I'm finding that it only really seems to work if I do a separarte command in each box in my tables, which could become quite messy if I did have to do it then. Please please can anyone help me...

you might want to take a look at using css....

you can specify somthing like the following
 
code:
 td {
   font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Myriad Web, Syntax, sans-serif;
   font-size: 13px;
   text-align: left;
   color: #FFCC00;
   font-weight: bold;
   background-color: #336633;
}

Thanks for that. But is it possible to do in plain HTML without having to put a new fontsize command in every "TD"?

Ok, don't know exactly what you need, but if it's what I'm thinking it is, just put a FONT SIZE="*" right after the BODY tag and end using the /FONT right before the /BODY and when you want to change for a title, you'd just have to put the FONT tags around the words, but everything else would have your settings from the first tag.  I realize that you probably don't understand a word that I just said, but I don't know a way to say it clearer...lol.  Hope that helps, I'll try to clear it up a bit, if you need it, and if I'm even answering the question you asked.

I still think you want to use something like this
code:
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>

<STYLE type="text/css">

BODY {
color: red;
font-size: 6pt;
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight: 200;

}

P {
   FONT-SIZE: 20px; FONT-FAMILY: geneva,arial,Verdana,Helvetica
}

td {   
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Myriad Web, Syntax, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;   
text-align: left;   
color: #FFCC00;   
font-weight: bold;   
background-color: #336633;
}

td.misc {   
font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Myriad Web, Syntax, sans-serif;
font-size: 18px;   
text-align: left;   
color: #336633;   
font-weight: bold;   
background-color: #FFCC00;
}


</STYLE>
</HEAD>

<BODY>
Now that is what<BR><BR>
<TABLE cellpadding="4" cellspacing="0">
<TR>
   <TD>Take me home</TD>
   <TD>Country roads</TD>
</TR>
<TR>
   <TD class="misc">to the place</TD>
   <TD>I belong</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>
<BR><BR>
I call easy

<P>but be careful.</P>
</BODY>
</HTML>

 
But I won't beat you over the head for not using it.
