Could some please check this link and tell me what might be causing this
problem.

www.stellarcores.com/about-us.htm

The problem is on the right panel (multiple links) and at the left panel at
the very lower end.

Can anyone tell me why the font is not the same? I have used the same font
throughout and yet for some reason it is changed on this page.

You have some improperly-nested HTML tags, there. For example:

<font face="Arial Black" style="font-size: 10pt" color="#501432">
Our Services</font></p>
<p style="margin-left: 3; margin-top: 15; margin-bottom: -15">
<span style="margin-left: 3; margin-top: 15; margin-bottom: -15"
style="font-weight: 700; font-size: 9pt; color=" #501432">
<a href="../services/management-consulting.htm">Management</a>
</span>
<span style="margin-left: 3; margin-top: 15; margin-bottom: -15;
text-decoration:underline">
</font></span>

For example, the last three tags -- <span></font></span> -- are a clear
violation.

If you open the page in Design view and click Show All (the backwards P) on
the Standard toolbar, these will show up as <?> icons.

BTW, the typography for this page is a mess. You'd be far better off
defining named CSS rules for the styles you want, and then applying those
style names.

For starters, remove all the <font> and </font> tags from your page, then
follow the instructions at:

Thanks for the feedback. I have been for the last few hours reading up on CSS
and it looks like that is a better way to go.

One more question: If I use the CSS style sheet, what if I wanted to use
two different font size within a particular style: for instance, if I set my
table style to 10pt, can I override a portion of that font to another size?

Again, thanks for taking the time. Certainly educational.

Yes, surely. The preferred method is to set up some styles like this:

body {font-family: Arial; font-size: 10pt; }
td {font-size: 9pt; }
..loud {font-size:12pt; font-weight: bold; color: #cc0000; }

Then, given the following HTML:

<body>
<p>This would be 10 pt Arial</p>
<table>
<tr>
<td>This would be 9pt Arial</td>
<td class="loud">This would be 12 pt bold red Arial.</td>
</tr>
</table>
</body>

Style selectors (names) that begin with a letter are *type* selectors, and
apply automatically to any text within the corresponding HTML tags.

Style selectors (like .loud) that begin with a period are "class" selectors,
and apply to any tag that you code with a class= attribure (as in <td
class="loud"> ). Note that you specify the leading period when you define the
class selector, but not when you specify it in the class= attribute.
