Frontpage and CSS

[Charlie davis]

Can someone tell me if there is a way to stop FrontPage from changing my
styles back to what it thanks they should be? I go and make changes to
create a <style> and FrontPage goes in and changes it back to the way that
it was. Is there anything I can do to stop this from happening other than
making all my changes in Notepad?

an external style sheet and don't open it with FrontPage is the most fool
proof way.

Are you using a Theme? If so, the Theme takes control of
almost all formatting, and may "correct" any overrides you
try to apply.

To overcome this, either:

o Modify the Theme so it creates the effect you want.

o Stop using a Theme, and start using linked style
sheets instead. Linked style sheets are much more
flexible.
