Bob,

Snippet from stylesknotes.css:
----------------------<copy>-----------------
H1	 {
			font-style : roman    ;
			font-size : 16pt.    ;
			Text-Align : Center ;
			Font-Family : Times New Roman ;
			Font-Size : 18pt ;
			Color : red ;
			Font-Weight : Bold
		}
--------------------------</copy>-----------------------------
Checking CSS, Level 1, I come up with the following:
Drop the white space between the properties and ":".
Add ";" at the end of the last declaration.
font-style allowed values are normal | italic | oblique
Drop the caps in the properties.
font-family values with white space need to be quoted, "Times New Roman".
drop the dot after 16pt

This page should help,
