Re: CSS not working

I had exactly what you are suggesting - but after a few days I gave up and
changed it to something that I know will work.
So I've copied your file onto the page and removed the font tags from the
opening paragraphs.
Can you please take a look with Netscape and tell me if it is Arial or Times
Roman in the opening paragraphs.

thanks
