ORIGINAL: pinksugarsub Seems you almost 'insist' on the default settings for posts. What, by chance, do you rely on for yr assertion that 'this is the easiest to read'? i'm not aware of anthing of the kind. Pick up a copy of "Elements of Style." Look at the curriculum of any class on the basics of written communication. Step 5 minutes into a "How to Write a Successful Newsletter" class. I don't just make this stuff up. Serif fonts (with the little "curlies" on the letters) are easiest to read because it helps lead your eye from one letter to the next. Times Roman is the classic example of a serif font. Because your eye has to travel from one letter to the next, and one line to the next, it is easiest to read left justified, because your eye returns to the same place (the left margin) each time. Sans serif fonts (without the little "curlies" - the word 'sans' means 'without') are best used in headings, as they don't lead your eye from one letter/word to the next. Arial is the classic example of a sans serif font. Because headings are short, they can be left justified or centered. Cali
