adding and attaching an external style sheet will display styles I have
created. However, the Style dropdown list only shows 16 standard styles.

I want to be able to apply "em" or "strong" and anything else I choose to add.

Anyone know how to add to this dropdownlist?

You can't attach styles to attributes like strong and certainly not to
units like em.
CSS would be used to replace the former but uses the latter.
An example could be:
p {font-family: Verdana; font-weight: bolder; font-size: 1.2em}

Where font-weight: bolder replaces strong and em is used to specify the
fontsize.
Perhaps you should look at a tutorial in CSS so you better understand
it.
There is one available here: http://echoecho.com/

Re: How can I add standard HTML Elements to the Style Drop Down List?Sorry, but I don't understand what you are saying. The following external style sheet changes the attributes for <stong> and <em>.

strong { color: #FF00FF; font-weight: bold}
em { color: #FF0000 }

<p>So I asked Bob <strong>about quotations</strong> and he said <cite>I know as much about quotations as I do about pigeon fancying</cite>. Luckily, I found HTML Dog and it said...</p>

<blockquote title="From HTML Dog, http://www.htmldog.com/">
<p>blockquote, q and cite are used for <em>quotations</em>. blockquote is block-line and used for large or citations, whereas q is in-line and used for smaller phrases. cite is also in-line and preferable to q for its semantic nature and possible future deprecation of q.</p>
</blockquote>

Re: How can I add standard HTML Elements to the Style Drop Down List?em is both a unit and an element.

Re: How can I add standard HTML Elements to the Style Drop Down List?Right.

You have <em>this</em> and <span style="margin:2em;">this</span>.

I don't know how to do what you want, however.

Re: How can I add standard HTML Elements to the Style Drop Down List?What I would like to do is add the elements I want to the FrontPage "Style" drop-downlist that are sorely missing.

as far as I understand, you can apply styles to any element.

you can apply styles to any element.

In FP2003, I can define styles that will be listed in the dropdown list.

Certainly you can define custom styles like .menu or anything else that is
non-standard, but try to define <em>, <strong> or any other standard HTML
element that is not already in the dropdown list in your external style
sheet. They don't appear in the list.

They appear in the user defined list. Furthermore, if you are defining a
tag, like em, just use it on the page, and you will see your style
automatically applied.

How do you see the User Defined List?

What steps are you taking to "just use it on the page?"
