Lock font size during printing of web page

[Allan Horwitz]

Is there a way to lock the font size of a web page during printing from IE 5
and 5.5 overriding any client side text size settings.

@media print
{
pre { font-size: 7pt ! important; }
}

Rowland,

Thanks for your help.

I am fairly new to CSS and I can't seem to get the font control to work.

Here is my style block:

@media screen
{
.printonly { display: none; }

}
@media print
{
pre { font-size: 7pt ! important; }

.screenonly { display: none; }
}

Do I need to put a div tag around the text?
Is the syntak okay?

My example changed all <pre>s to be 7pt when printed, you could create a
class like:
.fixedprint { font-size: 72pt ! important; }
and then use it, a la:

<div class="fixedprint">This will always print out at 72pt</div>
