The default type size (basefont) is 3; it roughly corresponds to 10 point type.

You will want to use larger type sizes for headlines and smaller type sizes for your navigation bar and address footer.

There are several ways to change the size of your type in FrontPage 98.

To set a headline size:
  • Highlight the text you want to affect
  • Choose a heading number from the Change Style drop-down menu on the far left of  the formatting toolbar.
