Can't access font style to match rest of page

[cree8now]

Hello:

I'm trying to create text in a table next to an image. The text on the page
is Arial 10, Style: Normal. But when I add new text it comes out Arial 9,
Style (new #). When I select the text and change it back to Normal Arial 10 to
match the rest of the page, it won't budge.

I've had this problem trying to match text even when I'm not using a table.
It's like the program has a mind of it's own (and a very stubborn one at
that!). Can anyone help?

Thanks,

Jill

I'd suggest going to File>Actions>Edit Page Source in External Application and
opening the file in Dreamweaver to figure out what it's doing exactly. It
sounds like it's creating a new style. You may want to apply the (Normal) style
to the entire table.
