Have just got Frontpage 2003 beta.
Had hoped it would treat the font selection in the way
Word does, namely putting all the fonts already used in
the web (now called 'site' in FP2003)at the top of the
drop-down list for easy access.
Is there some option I should chose to make this happen
(in 2002 and/or 2003)?

Font tags are pretty much deprecated now so it is a good time for all of us
to learn CSS ... especially for fonts, if for nothing else! You'll love it
once you catch on because it will save you so much time.

Well I thought I had cracked CSS about a year ago, but for
some reason the fonts in FP2002 didn't always seem to be
defined by CSS so I carried on specifically defining them.
I will have another look at CSS to see if I have got
something wrong.
In any case it is still rather extraordinary that FP
doesn't follow the useful convention in Word etc of having
fonts you have used in a document at the top of the list.

Er, no it doesn't help actually (though your earlier one
of course did). If they all started with 'A' that would be
great until I get CSS working reliably as they would all
be at the top of the drop down list. It it just the Times
Roman is a long way down my font list.

You can experiment with the font families I gave you earlier.... changing H6
H4 etc.
I'm stumped now but here's a little CSS for you to borrow and play around
with:

h5 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 16px;
color: #8376B4;
}
h6 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 10px;
color: #666666;
}
h4 {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #666666;
}
a:link {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #ffffee;
text-decoration: none;

}
a:visited {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #6c66a8;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: none;



}
a:hover {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
color: #6C66A8;
font-weight: bold;
text-decoration: underline overline;


}
h3 {
font-family: "Comic Sans MS";
font-size: 16px;
color: #5B00B7;
font-weight: bold;

}
body, p {
font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 14px;
background-color: #CCCCCC;
color: #666666;


}
table {
background-color: #CCCCCC;
border: none;
}
