Style drop down list

[Terry Pinnell]

It's astonishing how much basic stuff I've forgotten as a result of a
few months of inactivity. I've just restarted work on my ongoing web
design project. One simple aspect I find myself puzzling over (if
indeed I ever understood it <g>) is the the Paragraph Styles drop-down
list. To be specific, could someone please take a look at this page
(which I won't touch, pending replies).

In Normal view of FP 2000, with my cursor in the heading 'Higher
Education Institutions', the part of the entry visible in the list is
'Heading 2.or'. But if I open the list by clicking its down arrow, no
such entry is listed. Why not - aren't they all supposed to be
displayed?

I'm sure the answer involves my CSS sheet, and in particular these 3
entries:
..orangewhite {color: #FFFFFF; background-color: #FF9933; }
..orangeonly {color: #E78C18;}
..orangelarge {color: #E78C18; font-size: 1.2em; font-style: bold }

It has to be that first one, yes? So, if only I could see it,
presumably the full entry in the drop down box is
'Heading 2.orangewhite' ?

TIA.

Yes, although the Paragraph Styles drop-down list may
show an element's current style in a combined manner
(such as Heading 2.orangewhite) you apply the type
selector (Heading 2) and the class selector
(.orangewhite) separately.

And yes, I'd say that Heading 2.or is truncated.
