RE: serif and sans-serif font sizes

Thanks for that, but I'm not the original poster. :-) My advice was to avoid
mixing fonts, as you suggest, and go with Gill Sans for the sans serif.

Beth,
I generally try not to mix different fonts in the same paragraph style.
However, circumstances beyond our control sometimes force us into that
position. In your case, I would substitute Bookman Old Style for Times New
Roman. BOS is an almost exact size fit for Arial, and is a fine looking font
to boot. IMHO, it reads as well on paper as TNR.
