Hi Richard,

1. It sounds like you copied and pasted a form from a Word or other non-HTML
document. To avoid similar problems in the future, use FrontPage to create
your forms.

2. The font you're seeing is the default font that is used by browsers
(Times New Roman). It looks like that because it has no font tags or other
formatting tags. If you don't want to have to apply font attributes every
time, try using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). CSS will enable you to specify
either a style for all of a certain type of HTML element, such as a table or
table cell, and apply that style to all instances of it in the page, or a
class name for, for example, a table or table cell. Then every HTML element
with that class name will have that style automatically.
