I've made some templates for some clients and am teaching them how to edit
them - no one knows html. Is there an easy visual way to put in a span tag
so they can apply a css style to it?

TIA,
Flo

to reply take out the bugs

In a word, no.

FrontPage *does* create spans to format blocks of text
with attributes such as "font-variant: small-caps" that
have no HTML equivalent. But otherwise, you have to change
to HTML view and type the <span> tags by hand.

Actually, if you have styles in your stylesheet of the form
"span.classname", those styles will show up in the style dropdown (with
Normal, Heading 1, etc) and will get applied to the selected text. You can
also use the Quick Tag Editor (FP2003) to simply wrap a <span> around some
selected text. The Class dropdown on the Style toolbar (again FP2003) will
allow you to add a class to that span (or change the class on an existing
one).
