Heading Styles

Question

I am re-working a style sheet nightmare, like so many of us.
To do so, I am selecting all in each topic and applying Normal to
all the text. I have then applied Heading 1 to the topic title, and
all I've done to that is raise the font size to 25pt in the style
sheet. No matter what I do, though, the correct Heading 1 style
does not show up when I compile and preview.
I don't know what style it is, but it isn't Heading 1. I have
even deleted the old topic title, retyped it, and applied Heading
1. What am I doing wrong?

Hi all
Apologies if someone else has offered this and I overlooked
it.
Harooki, if you examine the HTML code of your topic and look
near the top, you should see a Head section. Inside that section
may be lurking an embedded style. It might look like this:
<style type="text/css"><!--
H1 {
font-size: 24pt;
color: #800000;
LI.H1 {
font-size: 24pt;
color: #800000;
-->
</style>
Note that I just tossed one together to see what it might
look like. Your code (I'm guessing this is the issue) would look
different, yet still start and end with <style> and
</style>.
See if you can find that and blow it away. Always remember
that embedded styles will override style sheets.
Again, apologies if this has already been covered. I did scan
the longish thread but don't recall seeing it.
Cheers... Rick
