FP2K2 overwrites CSS page

I've modified the CSS associated with a (modified) theme by opening the CSS
page in FP and using the "Style" window that pops up to change some fonts.
When I save the page, my changes work, but the next time I change a regular
page with FP, the CSS page gets overwritten and my changes are no longer in
force. Does anyone know why this happens, and how to prevent it?

Thanks,
A.D.
 
You have to modify the current theme with your changes, and then save it
under a new name, then remove the current theme and apply your new modified
theme.

Yes. FrontPage detects that you're "corrupted" the theme,
and so FrontPage "repairs" it. Helpful, eh?

To fix this, you need to make your changes though
FrontPage.

o In FP2002, choose Theme from the Format menu,
then select the Theme you want and click Modify.

o In FP2003, displays the Theme task pane, right-click
your current Theme, and then choose Customize.
