Imagine you've created a a Web site by using one of the Microsoft FrontPage® 2002 default themes or a special theme that you've concocted. Your site has all the style, formatting, color, and banner properties that you like. Now, if you add a photo gallery to your site, will it have all the styles and formatting properties that come with the applied theme? And if so, can you set it up so that your photo captions and descriptions have a font style, size, and color of their own? With Microsoft FrontPage 2002, you can.

When you create and add a FrontPage 2002 photo gallery to a site that has a theme applied to it, by default the photo gallery will take the same properties — such as background, formatting, and bullet style as the rest of the pages in the site. However, for your captions and photo descriptions, you can choose whether you want to use the font formatting from the page's theme or override the theme's formatting and select a custom font of your own. This feature can come in handy when you want your captions and descriptions to stand out from other text on the page.

Web pages within a Web site that have a theme applied

Photo gallery page within the same Web site that uses its own font properties for its captions and descriptions

To change the font style, size, or color of your captions and descriptions, do the following:

1. Double-click the photo gallery you've created.
2. In the Photo Gallery Properties dialog box, select the photo whose caption or description you want to change by clicking its file name.
3. Select Override and use custom font formatting.
4. Type the caption and description for the photo.
5. Select the text you just typed in the Caption or Description box.
6. Select the font style, size, and color in the appropriate drop-down boxes.

Notes

• If you don't select the text in the Caption and Description boxes before changing the font, the settings you specify will not be applied.
• This feature also applies to Web pages that are associated with a cascading style sheet (CSS).
