Hello Linda!

You can do it, but you could have validation problems with "P" tags, "HR"
tags, and some others, though I don't know all of them. And if you use
tables, depending on your viewer's browser, your font may revert to the
default for that browser until you exit the table.

<font face="whatever">

...then, give it its closing tag thusly:

</font>

All of your textual content will reside within these two tags. You can then
use "H1, 2, 3, etc." for sizing headings, or font tags with size and/or
color attributes thusly:

<font size="n">

...content

</font>

Of course, this would sort of defeat what I THINK  your purpose here is,
that is, to minimize the typing of font tags. In any case, make sure you
close each sizing or coloring tag...font tags, like table tags, are
notorious for getting "orphaned".

IMHO, you are better off using font tags wherever needed. It can be a
typing chore, BUT, you could build yourself a text file with your commonly
used ones in it, keep it open in your HTML editor, and copy and paste from
it. Some of the fancier HTML editors probably have user defined macros that
would allow you to do this also.

Good luck!

Mike
