Hi Gavin,

There are a few reasons this may be happening.

First of all, ensure the cache on your browser has been cleared. ie. refresh the pages (F5) once you've opened them in your browser. You may also need to clear your history and temporary internet files and then refresh.

Another problem may be that you have an editable region on your template wrapped in a certain font size, but then within your actual web pages, additional font size information may be overriding the region's default size.

For example (pseudo code):
{start font size 2}
{start editable region}
{start font size 1}
Text appears on page
{end font size 1}
{end editable region}
{end font size 2}

Even though you may go and update the template {font size 2} to become {font size 3}, it won't make any difference because on the web page, {font size 1} is overriding it anyway.

Check these things and if you are still having problems, post a reply and I'll think of some other reasons this could be happening. If you have a live web site, perhaps you can paste the URL (if you don't mind) and I can have a look at the actual code.

If you do this, it would be helpful to paste an example of both the font sizes, so I can compare the HTML of each. Also state which area or what the words are that are supposed to be different sizes.

Regards, Rich

Hi Gavin,

Okay, I can see the site. Which text is not the same size? Or have you fixed the problem now. The only thing I can see that's different on any of the pages, is the cellspacing of TopNav table on the Search page.

Get back to me with more details if you're still having a problem with the text size, specifically which part of the site.

Otherwise, please mark this question as resolved.

Regards, Rich
