This may help you when you are editing your pages:

Font used: Verdana

Suggested color palette:

- Do not underline text for emphasis; instead, Bold or Italicize. People will think underlined text is a hyperlink.
- Try not to change font size "manually" (using the font size drop-down menu) if you are using Cascading Style Sheets. Netscape will not apply those changes. Instead, control your text with Headings, bullets, and other styles.
- Font sizes over 10pt do not look as professional.
- Stay away from blinking text and animated gifs. Unless you have Flash animation or some similar animation, blinking and spinning graphics can look unprofessional.
- The "MARQUEE" option in FrontPage does not work in Netscape. Be sure to preview often in both browsers to make sure that your page is turning out the way you want it to.

If you apply the theme without Cascading Style Sheets, the fonts will be "normal" sized, and you may resize them yourself.

If you apply the theme with Cascading Style Sheets, your default font will be 10pt. We also included a custom style called "info box" in a smaller font, to use in your info boxes. Any changes you make manually to the fonts will show up in Internet Explorer, but not in Netscape.

Style sheets are a nice way to globally change properties of paragraphs and text -- instead of having to go to each page and change your text from 8pt to 10pt, you can just change the style sheet.

If you would like to define a new "style" (a certain way to display text -- what font, size, color, etc.), you may modify the theme or create new style information.

To modify the style sheet associated, with the theme: Go to Format/Theme, click the Modify button, click the Text button, click on More Text Styles, and create a new style. Once you are back in Normal View, you may access these styles from the Style dropdown menu. Styles are usually applied to entire paragraphs.

To modify or create a new style sheet, go to Format/Style.

Size this info box: Right-click in here and select Table Properties, then set the width of the table in percentages or pixels.

Duplicate this info box: Click in here, go to Table/ Select/ Table, then Edit/Copy and Edit/Paste.
