Hi all,

I'm looking at a user's manual. I do not have access to the original
author and therefore have to guess at their intentions.

Looking at the paragraph styles, I see that the various table body
(i.e. not heading) styles are in a smaller point size than the regular
body style.

In looking at other books I have close at hand, I see only table body
text at about the same size (i.e. not obviously smaller, though I
didn't get a point ruler out to be sure) as regular body text.

Any thoughts on why table body text should be smaller?

Thanks.
