Imagine you've created a a Web site that has a cascading style sheet (CSS) applied to it. Your site has all the style, color, and formatting properties that you like. Now, if you add a photo gallery to your site, will it have all the styles and formatting properties that are specified in the style sheet? 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 Web site that has a style sheet associated with it, by default the photo gallery will take the same style properties as the rest of the pages in the site. However, for your photo captions and descriptions, you can choose whether you want to use the font formatting specified in the style sheet or override the style sheet and select a different font. 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 associated with a style sheet

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 have themes applied to them.
