If you just copied Default.nb, that's definitely your problem...you froze in a bunch of v6 settings which are less appropriate for v7. Another possibility which would cause the problem is that you might have created your stylesheet from scratch, but you're inheriting from Core.nb. The SlideShow environment has blown up font sizes set for the input/output styles in Core.nb, but for most of the rest of the styles in Default.nb. In either case, the simplest solution would be to edit the first StyleDatacell in the stylesheet so that it targets Default.nb rather than Core.nb. If you have trouble figuring this out, send me the stylesheet and I'll take a look at it for you. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
