Latitude

In the FrontPage 2002 Style drop-down box this is a listing of the following
pre-defined styles:
Address
Bulletted List
Default Character Style
Defined Term
Definition
Directory List
Formated
Heading 1-6
Menu List
Normal
Number List

When we open a CSS template it includes the following:
a:link
a:visited
a:active
table
body
h1 - h6

What (if any) is the correlation between these 2 lists? Does "Normal" in the
drop-down box = "body" in the CSS? Does Heading 1-6 equal h1-h6? Also what
are the following styles in the drop-down box used for?

Address: is the for street address or for formating an email address?
Default Character Style: vs Normal
Defined Term?
Definition?
Formated: we thought all styles were 'formatted'
Normal: vs Default Character Style

thanks, Cecil:)

Sort of. Normal in the drop-down box means "no styles".
It removes styles such as Heading 1.

"body" in CSS code sets defaults for the <body> section,
which may or may not cascade to other elements, depending
on the browser.
Does Heading 1-6 equal h1-h6?
Yes.

Whatever you want.
Default Character Style: vs Normal

BTHOOM, I couldn't get Default Character Style to do
anything.
Defined Term?
Definition?

These are for a certain type of list.
Formated: we thought all styles were 'formatted'
Click to expand...

Means <pre> and </pre> tags, which mean a monospaced font
and respect for white space. (i.e. multiple spaces
display as multiple spaces.)
Normal: vs Default Character Style

I think I covered this.

Don't get hung up on these. Use Normal, Heading 1-6,
Bulleted List, and Numbered List if you want, and maybe
Formatted if you're going to show code. But most of the
rest are historical baggage. Use custom CSS styles (class
selectors) for precise and uniform formatting.
