Concept: How to change font size

Explanation:

• You can change the size of a font by bracketing it in <FONT SIZE=" .."> .. </FONT> tags.
• Like any such tag, you bracket the text you want changed within the tags.
• The size of font is increased or decreased plus or minus one or two.
• Inside the parentheses, acceptable values are "+1", "+2", "-1", or "-2"
