Font gets bigger when I replace

I copied some text to my site to get the same layout (rather than
reinventing the wheel), but when I do deleted all of the text, the table
cell and the paragraph marker become larger, changing the size of the cells.
This is so wierd to me.

I've run into it before and have to do some strange work-arounds. What is
happening?

The following is what I'm working with. It's just a calendar layout that I
wanted to use.

What am I doing wrong.

I select the entire table and select a font of size 1 (8 pt). Then when I
overtype the numbers, they become size 3 (12 pt). How I can overcome it. I
seem to spend so much of my time resizing fonts on my sites. It's gotta be
simple. I'm doing it all in FP, but maybe I'm thinking too much like "Word"
(that's scary <weg>).

When you copy formatted text from another program and
paste it into FrontPage, FrontPage surrounds the text
with whatever HTML tags are necessaary to duplicate that
formatting. But if you later delete the text, the
surrounding formats may remain and apply unexpectedly to
further work.

Formatting individual scraps of text is out of favor
anyway. Creating and applying CSS styles is in. So after
pasting formatted text into FrontPage:

1. Click the Paste Options icon that appears near the
pasted text.
2. Choose Keep Text Only.

Well Jim, it took a couple of tries to figure it out, but I got it. Thanks
a bunch. I'll make sure I remember that little tip.
