Create a cascading style sheet (CSS)

Applies to: Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003

Some of the content in this topic may not be applicable to some languages.

Do one of the following:

Show Create an external cascading style sheet (CSS)

On the File menu, click New.
In the New task pane (task pane: A window within an Office application that provides commonly used commands. Its location and small size allow you to use these commands while still working on your files.), under New page, click More page templates.
On the Style Sheets tab, click the type of CSS that you want to create, and then click OK.
Note Microsoft Office FrontPage 2003 creates a new page with a .css file name extension and opens it for editing. Before you can link the .css file to a Web page, you must save it.

Show Create an embedded cascading style sheet (CSS)

To create an embedded CSS, you must specify the formatting characteristics of the new style.

In Page view, at the bottom of the document window, click Design .
On the Format menu, click Style.
Click New, and then in the Name (selector) box, type the name of the new style.
Under Style Type, choose whether the style will be a Paragraph or Character style.
Click Format, and then specify the formatting characteristics for the new style.

Note When you apply a style directly to a page element by using the Style button in its Properties dialog box, the style is applied directly to the element, creating what is called an inline cascading style sheet (inline cascading style sheet: A cascading style sheet that is applied to a single page element, or to a specified sequence of page elements.) (CSS).
