Font sizes in longtable

[Douglas Sturim]

How do you change the font size in the longtable package without changing
the caption size.
This command does not work;
\begin{longtable}{|| >{\small}c c c c c c c c c ||}

Thanks,

Doug

what do you mean by doesn't work?
you need to load array package for the > syntax, but then it should
work, and make the fonts in the first column small.

I did not load in the array package. That was it! Thanks! Gee your name is
very similar to the guy who wrote all of the packages I seem to be using....
do you know him?

Thanks again,

Doug

Which can mean, for some combination of documentclass and document
size, that it leaves the stuff in exactly the same size. You might
want to try something more visible, like \tiny, for checking. And
perhaps also later (\footnotesize or \scriptsize or so).
