Changing banner font color in FP2003

D

Denise

I'm new to FP and website design, so please forgive me. I created a website
in Publisher, part of which is up on our Unix server now. Because it cannot
be easily modified, our IT people told me to use FP. Boss wants FP site to
look like Publisher site looked. I used the Pixel theme with Publisher.
Trouble with FP is banner font color is red and I can't find how to change
it. Any suggestions for a novice user would be appreciated.

To be perfectly honest:

Start over in FrontPage.

That is what I am trying to do. However, as I said, I'm trying to mimic the
look of the Publisher site in FP, since boss is insistent that the look
(which she chose) is not negotiable. Any ideas?

Not sure exactly what you mean by banner.

Is it a scrolling Marquee, or just a simple banner image.

If it is a scrolling marquee right click the marquee, select Marquee
properties and then click the Style button.

If it's just an image, open the old site, take a screenshot, paste the
screenshot into an image editor and cut out the banner portion.
Save it as a .jpg and then use the image in the new site.

If your trying to create the banner in FrontPage using word art, if you
right click select properties and then click the style button you can
change the color.

However, word art only works in Internet Explorer, so once again take a
screenshot and covert it to an image.

It is a banner image in an FP theme. I can change the colors, etc. of the
banner image in the theme, but not the font or color of the text that
displays in the banner. So if I understand you correctly, I need to create an
image file containing the banner as it appears in Publisher? Can you
elaborate? I'm not sure how to "take a screenshot." Thank you for taking the
time to answer my newbie questions!

you can change the font colors in the themes
you customize the theme then save it as a new theme

Thanks, KatWoman, I have changed the font colors in the theme I want, and
everything changes but the font color in the banner. The help info on this
topic says specifically that changing the colors in the theme will not change
the color of the text in the banner but doesn't say what will! I'm going to
try Steve's suggestion, as soon as I figure out how to do what he suggested.

Use Format Theme Customize Colors Custom (select Banner text) and save as a new theme name
