I want frontpage 2003 to use verdana as the default font for every new page
I make...

how??

Thanks
 
Set the default font
1. On the Tools menu, click Page Options.
2. Click the Default Fonts tab.
3. Set the default fonts for Design view and Code view.

OR

Use CSS
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #CCC;
background-color: #333;
}

Notice I used a font family so if they don't have veranda on their computer
their are other substitutes...

You have to actually apply a font to your text either via the font menu or via CSS. The default font
setting in FP, is only how you will see your text displayed while you are working on your pages, not
how the text will look in a browser, to see this use File Menu | Preview in Browser.

Set the default font
1.. On the Tools menu, click Page Options.
2.. Click the Default Fonts tab.
3.. Set the default fonts for Design view and Code view.
That's what the instructions in FP 2003 says!

is there a way to make a template or something, so that when I press new,
that css code will be inserted automatically? (I mean that it will aready be
there)
 
sorry.. I dont know css very well

I added this code to the header

<!--
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #CCC;
background-color: #333;
}
-->

in the browser it should show verdana text, but its not... any ideas?

Thanks
 
this is misleading... this is about how the editor SHOWS the fonts,
not how they are later displayed on the browser.

Indeed the only way to do this for all the page is using CSS
 
Change that to

<style>
body {
font-family: Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: black;
}
</style>

See if that works

Also you can go to View>Toolbars>Formatting
Then select verdana in the font dropdown...

I see now that it's the wrong answer. I never had that problem because
I make up a page that has all the basic code and name it blank.htm.
Then when I want to start a new page, I click on the blank.htm and
Rename to the title on the new page. The blank.htm also has the header
and includes already inserted also.

Thanks Bob I will try it.

I just wanted to add something to your sig
Scientists see the world as it is,
Engineers create a world that has never been
Writers are the inspiration of both.
Click to expand...

Many of the things we have today
where in SF books long before they existed.
Example: Look at Jules Vern

Something has to be imagined first in the mind,
then manifested in a tangible form.

It so happens that these 2 categories of people
are trained in science and technology,
but lack the training on how to create a
vision with their imagination.

If you are lucky you have a strong imagination and sound technical
knowledge like Nicola Tesla. He could imagine anything he built in his
mind in great detail BEFORE he started making it.

But how about training someone on how to imagine?
Can it be done? I say it is :-)
 
You would need to edit your default new page template to add the CSS posted by other in your HEAD section
You'll find the template as normal.htm in
%ProgramFiles%\Microsoft Office\Templates\1033\PAGES11\normal.tem

You can - see the next message from Stefan, but I would recommend instead
that you make revised normal page point to an external stylesheet.

something like <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="mystyles.css">
