Caryl,

I think I might be able to shine some light.

First, close the font definitions before you open any new ones ie:

<.font size="3"> bla,bla,bla</font> some more stuff <.font size="3">more
different stuff</font>

instead of:

<.font size="3"> bla,bla,bla some more stuff <.font size="3">more different
stuff</font>

Second, and I'll bet this is really confusing some browsers ;-)

<.font size="+1" font color=#FFCC66>

Size and color are two attributes of FONT, so this tag would be written:

<.font size="+1" color="#FFCC66">

As an example, let's add the 'face' attribute of FONT also:

<.font size="+1" color="#FFCC66" face="Times Roman">bla,bla,bla</font>

(Get up off the floor Ted. Yes, I realize I just threw a MSIE specific tag
in there. It's to keep you on your toes!)

Anyway . . . in closing I would like to suggest that you pay particular
attention to seeing that you always include your color definitions in
quotes (") ie:

<.font size="+1" font color=#FFCC66>

should be

<.font size="+1" font color="#FFCC66">

HTH,
Fuzzy.
