For a Microsoft FrontPage 98 version of this article, see 183254.



SYMPTOMS
When you apply font formatting to your table of contents, the formatting appears in FrontPage, but it does not appear in the preview when you view the page in a Web browser.



CAUSE
FrontPage does not write the font information for the table of contents to the page. The Table of Contents component uses only heading tags (such as H1, H2, or H3). FrontPage does not apply any other font or style formatting to the list.



RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, you can use cascading style sheets (CSS) to define the styles for the heading attributes. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) Open the page that contains the Table of Contents component in Page view of FrontPage.
 * 2) On the Format menu, click Style.
 * 3) In the List list, click to select "All HTML tags."
 * 4) From the Styles list, click to select "a", and click modify.
 * 5) In the Modify Style dialog box, click Format, and then click Font.
 * 6) Select the format that you want, and click OK. For Example, click Italic under Font Style and click OK.
 * 7) Click OK.
 * 8) From the list, select "H2." (Make sure that "All HTML tags" is selected in the List list.
 * 9) Repeat steps 5 - 7 for the H2 tag

NOTE: For the current page you have open, any styles you define will apply to all hyperlinks and paragraphs with the heading size you specified.



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