How do I modify the tag for definition list.

It indents too much and I want to change the font.

Thanks

People don't use definition lists much anymore, because
of the inflexibility you've discovered.

However, to do what you want:
1. Choose Style from the Format menu.
2. In the "List" box at the bottom left, select
User-Defined Styles.
3. Click New.
4. Enter dl in the Name box, then click Format and Font.
5. Specify the font you want, then click OK.
6. Enter dd in the Name box, then click Format and
Paragraph.
7. Under Indentation, in the Before Text box, enter the
amount of indentation you want (i.e. 10px for
to pixels.
8. Click OK, OK, and OK.
you want

Alternatively, switch to HTML view and add these four
lines to the <head> section.

<style>
dl { font-family: Arial;}
dd { margin-left: 10px; }
</style>

Thanks

This is for my discusion forum the tocproto. page with the
insert results is set on a definitio list. So I'm guessing
it has to be a def list for the threads to flow.

So when I do what you've suggested is that done on the
tocproto page or in a theme that I apply to the post page?

Thanks again.

You would have to create a text web and experiment a bit to find a
combination that works for you.
