The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 2000

This article was previously published under Q219219

SYMPTOMS

When you create new styles, FrontPage allows you to create multiple styles with the same name. This applies to both user-defined styles and built-in styles.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, use a different name for each new style created, or modify the existing style by doing the following:

In the Style dialog box, click the style you want to modify and then click Modify.
In the Modify Style dialog box, make changes to the style as needed and then click OK.
In the Style dialog box, click OK.

STATUS

Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.

MORE INFORMATION

When your page is viewed in a browser, the last defined style is displayed. The following is code written by FrontPage for in-line styles that have the same name.

<style>
<!--
a:link       { color: #800080 }
a:visited    { color: #00FFFF }
a:link       { color: #800000 }
a:visited    { font-family: Arial Narrow; color: #00FF00 }
a:active     { font-variant: small-caps; color: #0000FF }
a:active     { color: #808000 }
-->
</style>
