Do CSS definitions override predefined Themes?

I am using Frontpage 2003. I am using a predefined theme, Journal. I want
to override the default HTML tag definition for Heading 3, i.e. <h3> to
change its color and add bold. I created an external .css file with a new
definition (font, size, color, bold) for h3 and linked it to all the
webpages. The webpages did not reflect the Heading 3 <h3> changes. What am
I doing wrong? To use the new definition, do I have to use .h3 or h3.h3 as
the style or something?
 
if you had a url to show that would be helpful.
why not just modify the theme to reflect your desired effect, or better
still, don't use the theme copy the effects to your external style sheet and
just link it to your pages (FrontPage makes this very easy to link a style
sheet to every page).
you can still use linkbars of a theme without using the theme itself, but
they're useful also as plain text link bars styled heavily with you're css.

You have to modify the theme.

Does anyone have any links for some quick education on using css with link
bars and menus? I've tried the usual suspects and seem to be stuck (I'm not
the sharpest tool in the shed). What tag do you use for a menu, and how do
make that menu rely on that tag?
 
Yes FP Themes CSS overrides any other CSS (it is always last in)

by link bar I meant the FrontPage generated link bar.
just chose one of the plain text variety, then in the page code surround it
with something like this:
<div id="fplinkbar"> <!-- FrontPage's linkbar code and
specifications --></div>
and then on the style sheet set up what the links should look like, also set
up what plain text will look like, because the link bar's representation of
the page you're on isn't a link at all but just plain text.

btw; you can do similar things with the FrontPage table of contents menu by
styling an unordered list <ul> and of course links within the <ul>.
