Dick said:Thanks Murray,
To clarify. I have studied html and I wrote my first web site with the
help
of an html editor. All my present sites have been done with FP2003
tweaking
the html in code view when necessary. Would one of the stye sheet editors
available on line allow me to make the change over to css for my "fumcwl"
site? I have also worked through the MS tutorial about css , read a lot
about
it and think I have a pretty good understanding of what css is supposed to
do. Now I need to know how to take the pages in the present site and make
style sheets for them. I could re-design the site just keeping the text
and
features of the present site if easier.
Dick said:Thanks P@tty, I beleive you and have started down that path since
receiving
all the replys from every one. At 83 I figure I still have time to learn
another trick or two, so thanks to you all for your helpful advice. I'll
be
back with more question you can bet.
