NS 4.7 is picky about where the CSS file is physically in relation to the 
html file. It seems to work best when they are in the same physical 
directory (either on my hard drive, or my web server), you might check for 
that little gotcha.

Further, 4.7 also has a horrible inheritance problem. Try adding TABLE, TD, 
P and whatever other container html tags you have in your web page to your 
body declaration on your style sheet. This *should* clear up the problem.

Better, (though more involved) would be to create individual styles for 
each section of the page. It's better because of the inheritance thing. 
Depending on how you declare your font sizes, NS 4.7 can do some funny 
things to them (especially percentage sizes). Best bet to be sure it looks 
as much alike in various browsers is to follow this route.

This has been my experience, YMMV.  8^ )
