With this object, you can manipulate the appearance of text enclosed within the <FONT> tag and its corresponding </FONT> closure tag.
However, although this may be possible now, a more future-proof technique would be to modify the attributes of the style object associated with the block of text that is contained by this FONT object. Indeed, you may wish to replace the <FONT> tag with a <DIV> or <SPAN> tag and employ a CLASS="..." HTML tag attribute on the style object attached to it.
