applying a CSS within a table column

[Gregory Hallam]

This is for FrontPage 2002 ....

I am editing an existing web site and trying to use an external CSS file to
format one column of a two column table on each of over 200 pages. I am
selecting Paragraph and left indent 30 but when I apply the CC file to, say,
one page it makes absolutely no difference to the formatting whatsover. The
HTML shows the linked CSS file. What could I be doing wrong please?

Unless you have all content in all cells inside of <p> tags (or a <p> tags w/ a class assigned), the style won't cascade into a
table cell
- you could try applying the style to the <td> tag or a <td> tag w/ a class assigned

Hi Greg,
you'd want to assign a class to the table and then to the td, eg

..mytable{
font: 14px Verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;
width:100%;
}
..myTable td{
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
}
and/or
..myTable td p{
padding: 0 0 0 30px;
}
and then apply to the table
<table class="myTable">
