Re: font size: Ah, I see. I looked at the page on another computer and sure enough the font is
smaller.
Thanks for the info on vertical-align: baseline. I did not know that.
I so appreciate your help. Now I have to get the layout working in ie7! The book images are pushed
down way too low on the page. Any suggestions?
Rory
