Just do what I said in my original post for the table you want to affect:

Code:
<table style="font-size:75%;">
And it's no big deal to use tables, as long as they make sense for example in blind browser when the cells are linearised. But CSS is a lot more powerful, and can almost always do what you want, and cut the amount of code you need in half. Obviously it's up to use if you want to use tables or CSS in the end though.
