I have a Microsoft Word document which uses a 10pt Arial font. I have re-created this document with HTML/CSS, specifying font: normal 10pt Arial;
in my stylesheet. When I print from the web page (from Chrome), the text appears significantly smaller.
I have my text wrapped in a 800px-wide container on my website. Might this be a cause? Besides this, to be honest I'm completely out of ideas & any help would be greatly appreciated.

pts
.pts
are pretty much inconsistent across platforms and do not scale. (px
don't scale either) Try usingem
