How to edit text part of CSS pages in Frontpage Design view?

[BartB]

Hi all,
I'm quite new to CSS, so apologies if this is trivial...
I re-created a website using some style sheets, thought I would make my live
easier for maintenance while keeping easy (wysiwyg) content updating possible.
My pages display OK in the preview pane, but I cannot edit anythin in the
design pane.
I'm loosing the support of my wife (!) to provide content for my website,
because I have to use the code view to edit it.
Can one of you experts tell me what I should change to make content editable
in the design pane, using my CSS style ?

Many thanks !

Your site is using external style sheets. ex:

<link href="de_notelaar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<link href="de_notelaar_print.css" media="print" rel="stylesheet"
type="text/css" />

In order to change the "look" of the content you need to open up the style
sheet and change the values there. For example, in your style sheet you
define the body style as:

body {
font-family: Gill Sans MT, Arial, Verdana;
font-size: 12px;
}

If you want to change the font you would change it there, save the
stylesheet and it will update the page.

more information about stylesheets.

Remove the absolute positioning and margins from your style sheet
(or the ids from you divs to edit the page
- the page in design view is being rendered w/ all the layers overlapping

|I understand this, David, thanks.
