In Windows, click on START > SETTINGS > ADD/REMOVE PROGRAMS.
Scroll down to, and highlight Netscape Navigator and click on
"Remove".

Large clearing of throat ... which is hard to do with tongue in
cheek.

A less drastic workaround is to set the Compatibility in
FrontPage 2000 for "both" IE and Netscape. Even with this
setting, you have to be careful what you manually insert using an
"Insert HTML" bot as they will effectively override the
compatibility settings.

Seriously, Netscape simply does not support all the CSS "tags"
that IE -4/5 does. Nor for that matter, does a tiny percentage of
other/older browsers. You can use "simple" font/text commands but
beyond that, one gets into trouble fast. CSS is a great
tool--but-- being able to use it to it's fullest, is still a few
years away unless you are writing for an intranet. (Any CSS must
be tested to make sure the page is still "readable" with the CSS
file removed.)

Sorry I can not be of more help but you already have the answer.
It wont work in Netscape. I wish it did. We would all love to use
many of the new features.
