I can easily change color, bold and underline and links using simple html code, but how can I change the font size

I have tried using

```auto
<font size=&#8221;7&#8221; color="#4F9FC5" ><B>READER RESEARCH 06/07</B></font>

```

as well as

```auto
<font size=&#8221;+2&#8221; color="#4F9FC5" ><B>READER RESEARCH 06/07</B></font>

```

and i just don’t understand why it doesn’t work.

I have even tried the URL equivalent

```auto
<font size=&#8221;%33%32&#8221; color="#4F9FC5" ><B>READER RESEARCH 06/07</B></font>

```

When it gets to that part of the text it just goes blank. I had a similar problem when i was trying to get the “&” symbol to work in a link, then i had to use url encoding, but it doesnt seem to work this time

Any thoughts greatly appreciated?
