Design view preferences

I've just taken over a new website and have been linking all the pages to a css
stylesheet. However, now all the text in my design view looks tiny and is very
hard to read. It looks fine on the live site though (www.dea.org.uk). Is there
any way I can change my design view preferences so I can actually see what i'm
editing?! Thanks.

I would start by not using a print metric for web display - use pixels, ems,
ens, exs, percents, or font size names, but not points. All of them (except
points) are pixel based rather than inch based, hence optimal for display on
a screen.

Now - what is your OS? What is your screen's resolution?

I use Mac OSX version 10.2.8 and my screen resolution is 1024x768.

i'm happy to use pixels rather than points but can you advise me what would be
the equivalent say of 10pt in pixels? Or where i could find out?

thanks

10pt = ~ 12/13px = 1em = 1ex = 1en = 100% = medium 8)
