I have a bunch of long reports to do so I'm trying to style them in a way that will enable easy and consistent re-styling. For example, the colors work OK (although they don't render in Design mode, variables _or_ static, which is annoying).

_Figure 1. A color parameter._

I'd like to be able to control the font size in a similar fashion. It seems to be a string, so I've tried this:

This doesn't work.  
Any ideas?

The font parameter may not work since your default string is not in quotations. Try adding the quotes and see if it works.

Duh!  
Thanks!
