Thumbnail size
Make sure the "Maintain aspect ratio" is checked then put in the height or width of the thumbnail size you would like. I chose 75 pixels wide - Front Page then automatically resized the height for me.  Only check the "Set as default size" if all your larger images are the same size, if they are not then some of them will get distorted.

Format font
Selecting "Use font formatting from page" which is the option that is ticked when gallery is open -  will set the font as Front Page's default font - unless you have specified otherwise on the page you are inserting the gallery into - say by using CSS or having Themes, in which case the Photo Gallery will take on the attributes specified in the CSS or Themes.

format font - default

The default font is the font that is used by Front Page when you have not specified which font you would like used. When the page is viewed in a browser, then the browser's default font will be used. You may have your default fonts set at, say, Times New Roman .... but the person browsing your website may have their default font set to Comic Sans. If you are unsure as to what your page's font formatting is, or you just want to make the correct font is used, then select the option "Override and use custom font formatting", then in the box below select the font, size and colour you wish. Any of these options can easily be changed after the gallery has been made, so do not worry if you make the wrong choice.

Click on the name of the image in the top box, then having set your font attributes, type in the text you wish. Repeat this for each image. If you have already typed your text into the Caption or Description boxes - then you must highlight the text before selecting your font formatting.
