Some of my instructions use the default page, but some will need to include html. I'm wondering what font and size is used in the default page so I can make them look alike?

For standard <page> elements, you can control the font to use via the <instruct> element's /fontstyle attribute,
<instruct>
/ fontstyle = ("Verdana", 2%, true)
...
</instruct>
i.e., you have full control over it. If you don't specify anything, 16pt Arial will be used by default, I believe.

Ok, I see, thanks. Do you know what the default size is?
Also, the subscribe by email on here doesn't seem to work for me...

As I said in my previous reply, I believe the default size is 16pt. The default font is Arial.
Hope this clarifies.
P.S.: If your primary concern is a consistent look for your instruction pages, why not use <htmlpage>s throughout (i.e., no regular <page> elements at all)?

Ah, sorry I missed that in your initial reply. I was initially using pages since they are easier and only creating html pages for the few I needed to specify font changes. It seems to look consistent now after I changed the defaults.
One more question. If I am using an html page, how can I "pass" it values from Inquisit to display? Thanks!

Works just like with regular <page> elements. You insert the property or value you want to display into the HTML source code surrounded by <% %>. See the HTML files included with the Tower Of London script for an example:
