DWTemplates & Themes

I use XP and FP2003 and publish a large (several thousand pages) site to a
remote server. I am wanting to change text sizes. I have made a copy of the
applied theme and altered the text sizes. This works happily enough on a
page not using a DWTemplate, but for pages using a DWTemplate the changes in
heading sizes are propogated OK but not the normal body text> At some stage
in the past I upgraded from earlier verions of FP so there may be some
legacy problems. I don't want to manually alter several thousand pages. Any
answers or tutorials would be welcome

http://www.dnswiz.com/fptype.htm then type in your URL. It's usually
accurate and quicker than contacting your host.

This site gave the result IIS/5.0
It also returned NO on FPE even though I know they are active

Further to my problem, I find that if I create a DWT from scratch then all
font sizes propogate OK, but altering the theme on an existing DWT page
propogates all font sizes excepted the changed normal body font.

FP 2003 themes use CSS
CSS body fonts don't cascade into tables well
In your theme add a font style for the td/ th/caption tags
Format Theme Modify/Customize Text - More Text styles

Thank you
Tables are indeed the problem - body font is fine outside a table. However
every page uses tables for layout so all text is in tables.
I tried creating the td/th/caption tags but with no joy. Maybe I am mixing
underscores or spaces or something.

It is also curious that changes in font sizes are not reflected in the theme
preview window.
