Thank you all. You helped. I know the calculations, but I am really
suffering from bad spring fever (it is 80 degrees outside and it is killing
me) and simply could not do the math such that the results made sense.

Again, thanks! You are all the best.

Point System
* Point
- 1/72 of an inch.
- 72 points equals 1 inch.
* To convert inches to points: inches x 72 = points

x 5
--- ---
72 32

(72 / 32) x 5 = 11.25 points

or has my basic 1st year of HS algebra abandoned me?

We have a client who has just specified that all body text must be 5/32
inches and all warnings and cautions must be 3/16 inches.

I can't find my ruler that maps inches to points. For Myriad Roman, can
anyone help? I am stumped. I am also brain dead today.

Responses are probably best off-list, so as to not waste more band-width
than needed with this dumb question.
