Greetings,

I have a problem with text size when using a particular LaTeX construct.
The text gets sequentially smaller after each use.  The PostScript output
looks as expected.

The problem arises when using the \hdr command defined below. Here is an
example:

\documentclass[11pt]{article}
\usepackage{multicol}
\usepackage{latexsym}
\usepackage{epsfig}
\usepackage{times}
\parindent=0cm
\parskip=1ex

\oddsidemargin=20pt
\evensidemargin=10pt
\columnsep=.4in
\marginparsep=0in
\marginparwidth=0in


\textheight=10in
\footskip=20pt
\headsep=0.2in
\voffset=-.3in
\textwidth=7.6in
\hoffset=-0.8in
%\pagestyle{empty}
\pagestyle{myheadings}
\markboth{Ample Power \ldots the name says it all!}
{Ample Power \ldots the name says it all!}

\def\sp{}
%\def\sp{\vspace*{1ex}}
%\def\sp{\vspace*{2mm}}
%\def\hdr{\large \bfseries \sffamily \upshape}
\def\hdr{\large \bfseries}

\begin{document}


\begin{multicols}{2}[ \huge{\bfseries 
Ample Power Quick Look Catalog
}
\hrulefill ]


\large 
\textsf{\textup{\textbf{Full Description Catalog}}} \\
\small

More information is available in the Full Description Catalog.  That

\large
\textbf{\textup{Full Description Catalog}} \\
\small

More information is available in the Full Description Catalog.  That

{\hdr Full Description Catalog} \\
\small

More information is available in the Full Description Catalog.  That

{\hdr Full Description Catalog} \\
\small

More information is available in the Full Description Catalog.  That

 
\large
{\bf Full Description Catalog} \\
\small

More information is available in the Full Description Catalog.  That
 
\large

\small

\end{multicols}

\end{document}
