Is there an easy way to add cascading style sheets after a page is created?
We want to do global changes without having to apply css to each page
element individually. Using FP2002. Thanks for any input.

Sure. Create a CSS file and then create a style sheet link to the page.

For creating a CSS file, I highly recommend that you check out TopStyle Pro.

Jim,

I've been thinking of doing the same thing..
will the linked stylesheet then override the inline stuff...or do you still have to go in and clean up the old tags that aren't needed too <font> etc.

Inline styles will override. You will need to remove any inline styles
first.

CSS obeys the rule of greater specificity, i.e., the closer the style is to
the element being styled, the higher its priority. This means that inline
styles, or HTML styles AWAYS trump CSS styles.

The answer is yes, you will need to remove all HTML styling in order for
your CSS to take hold.

If I remember right; topstyle has a function to remove styles and font tags
from the pages in a web.

Also remember at FP itself can do it. Select all (or parts) and select
Format | Remove formatting.

You do remember right. TopStyle has several different
options available to do this.

I'm still a noob with CSS. I do use Topstyle Pro and have it set as my editor. Does this feature "know" what styles it should replace?...or do I have to actually read the instructions again <sigh>...

I would read the documentation. The best approach depends on what you're
dealing with. TopStyle's documentation is excellent, and if you're a
newbie, it's an even better idea because you'll learn more. :)
