>>Yeah...I'm not sure what Dian is talking about when she says FP can't
do CSS....on the FP lists I'm on, people are talking about CSS all the
damn time  ;-)

I didn't say CAN'T...I said PROPERLY. ;-) Prior to 2002, FP was not W3C
compliant. And for some of us, that's important.

Yeah...I'm not sure what Dian is talking about when she says FP can't do
CSS....on the FP lists I'm on, people are talking about CSS all the damn
time  ;-)

And, Dian...here's a copy of Tina's FP instructions for making style
sheets in FP (from this article in ABC:
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc1/v3/tina3.htm ):

How to make a style sheet.

Go to File>New>Page. Click the Style Sheets tab, click the type of style
sheet you want to create, click OK.  FrontPage creates a new style sheet
page with a .css file name extension and opens it for editing in Page
view.

TIPS:

To create or modify styles in a cascading style sheet, type the style
information in proper CSS syntax, or use the Style command on the Format
menu (or click Style on the Style toolbar) to let FrontPage modify the
style sheet for you.

How to point your htm files to a external CSS (cascading style sheet)
file.

Open up your page in FrontPage that you want to link to the external
sheet then click Format>style sheet links>Click 'All pages' radio
button>Click ADD button. Navigate to the style sheet (.css file) that
you want linked on the page.  Select the file and click OK. Then Click
OK in the Link StyleSheet dialog box.

FP will add the code to the head section to link this style sheet. The
code looks similar to: 

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="styles.css">

You could paste the code in the head tags section, but for all your
pages using FrontPage to automate this chore makes sense.

<<editor's note:  for more information on CSS, see Kathleen Anderson's
article in this issue
http://personal-computer-tutor.com/abc1/v3/kath3.htm

PSSST....Dian....you remember Kathleen, right?  The FP MVP?  LOL

    Shhhhh don't say nothing, Dian still hasn't answered my one post
with the W3C validation links on a FP made site, CSS and all. Let's face
it she paid almost $1,000 for a program that spits out the same code as
the $150 FP. As you know it's best to just let some things go and humor
those that have "brand name" delusions. <WEG>
