Subject: RE: Tech: Posting in fonts.
Useful stuff!

Arial has been the default font for Micro$oft Office in the various versions I've used but I'm told that, for all new versions, Micro$oft has changed its default font to one (apparently sans serif) that they regard as easier to read on screens, as most people they're interested in do most of their reading on screens rather than on paper. So it may be that some of the discussion above will be repeated in the future.

And my apologies to Joe Offer. This morning I saw my first posting above and it read "Jim's and Joe's stuff came through fine on Safari, with one exception. Joe's just sat there, blankly, on the screen."

When I wrote "Joe's just sat there, blankly" I had inserted his word "blink", with its html bits, after his name, but it all disappeared from my posted text. All the rest of his stuff worked (as far as I can see) as he intended but nothing blinked. I suppose this is yet another example of what the most recent postings have emphasised.

Cheers, Rowan
