How to inforce the default font and size to show in Code view?

[kigma]

I'm using FP 2003 as external HTML editor and running Windows XP
Simple task
1) Type some text in Design view Font Arial, size 3 (12pt)
2) Switch to Code view and copy HTML
3) Paste to another program

Problem: The text I type must be Arial size 3 (12pt), however in Code view
it does not show <font face="Arial" size="3"> I have to manually switch font
size in Design view to "4", then use Find/Replace in Code view to remplace
all size="4" to size="3"
How to inforce the default font and size to show in Code view?

Why are you doing all that in such a convoluted way? I don't understand
what you are trying to do.

I'm usinng third party program to list items on eBay and other markets. I can
write item's descriptions in this program in HTML or Text. If I write simply
text, then it will be automaticaly formated to program's default font
Times... and size 2. I don't like it, I need Arial and size=3, so the other
way around to write HTML and do whatever formating I whish. The only problem,
the program does not have HTML editor, just a plain text box. So, I'm using
FrontPage 2003 as external HTML editor and simply paste HTML code into this
program. I have to write long descriptions and 100-200 items per month, can
you imaging messing around with HTML manually. FP gives me power to type in
design view "WUSIWUG" and simply paste HTML code. Now, FP does not show Arial
and size="3" in code view by default, how can I inforce FP to show it? Do it
has to do something with my Windows XP default settings?

When you are done in code view switch to design view and use
Edit Select All
- apply your font formatting
