Small text in threads

[kev_]

@AliGW tells me that I am using a very small font for my formula text, which is weird because what I see on my screen suggests the exact opposite - see picture below.

Please help me carry out a quick survey to help me render my future replies legible to all

Q1 Please click on this link and look at post#2 and compare it to the picture below
- does the formula text seem small to you?
- if so which browser are you using?

Q2 Of the 5 samples below which ones display larger /same size / smaller when compared with the default text

1 =FORMULA(..)
2 =FORMULA(..)
3 =FORMULA(..)
4 =FORMULA(..)
5 =FORMULA(..)

Kev - are you copying and pasting text into the edit box in the browser?

@AliGW
I simply select cell text and paste into the thread
I do resize it at that point and as the picture shows it gets bigger after being manipulated

[AliGW]

OK - try not resizing it at all, then. Or don't copy and paste!

Are you suggesting that I should type my formulas into the thread - they will never work if I do that!

[AliGW]

Well, no!!! But when I copy and paste formulae in from Excel, they 'land' automatically at the default size. I don't change any font sizing - I leave it at the default. I always find that changing it is a bit hit and miss as the results are very much browser-dependent.

@AliGW - this anomoly seems to be an Internet Explorer peculiarity .....
Firefox and Chrome both display the text slightly smaller than the default text, whereas IE does the opposite

[AliGW]

Aha! There you go. Good old IE ...

Yes, I'm a Firefox user.

Wrap your formulae in [ formula ] tags

=IF("Wrapped","Clarity","Obfuscation")

@Olly
If(IsFormula(pasted text),"Olly suggestion is good", "Problem unresolved")

[Olly]

Just type the [ formula ] brackets and paste your formula inbetween....

[ formula ] = "My Stuff, which can be pasted" [ /formula ]

Remove the spaces, gives:

 = "My Stuff, which can be pasted"

I'm running FireFox - your text is small

@Olly - Hi Olly long time no see
