Firefox to MS Word Styles

    I have a page with 10px fonts on screen. I have to get this pages data into a MS Word document. I do a ctrl+A in Firefox, then paste everything into Word. The pasted copy in Word is now 12px. How do i get it to stick at 10px?

    When running the same steps in IE, it pastes into Word correctly at 10px.

    My basic question is, how do i get FF to keep the 10px font size when pasting into Word? Thanks much.

    You don't. There is no handling between the two programs, ^C from Firefox copies plaintext... which means it should default to whatever font size you already have declared.


    NOT that Word measures fonts in PX, it measures them in PT since it is designed to work in print... and 10 pixels on a 300dpi printer, 600dpi laser or 1200dpi linear press are three different sizes, NONE of them particularly useful.

    is there no way to write a style sheet for just Firefox? Word obviously pays attention to them when used in IE.
