Why and how to use Style?

[Patrick Chen]

Frontpage2000:

Hello All,
I am confused about how to apply Style and in what instances should
Style be preferably used.
I create a user-defined style font:gothic, text color- magenta, border=0,
name it .newstyle.
Then I highlight one paragraph of a page in Normal tab, click format, style,
chose .newstyle, OK. Nothing happen to the selected text. I select all text
in page, click format, style, chose .newstyle,OK. Nothing happen. What are
the advantages of using style when one can modify the theme and apply it
either to selected or all pages?
If there are advantages then, how do I apply it?

Thank you.

Patrick

Styles are most useful, at least in FrontPage, when you want to control text
without applying themes. Understand that the theme uses styles, behind the
scenes, as well, so you may not see all changes, as the theme is overriding
your selections.

The styles, in FrontPage, are part of FrontPage's CSS implementation. CSS
(or Cascading Style Sheets) is a W3C recommendation that all browsers are
supposed to support. It allows basic font manipulation, but it also allows
much more, like positioning, et al.

If you create your own design, outside of the FrontPage themes, you will
find CSS much more useful.

Where did you save your user defined style??
In the page, or in a .css file??

If it's an inline style it needs to read:
<style font: gothic; text-color: magenta;>
with a closing style tag </style>
after your paragraph
