CSS styles not being applied properly

CSS for font sizes in ebay templates are not displaying properly or
consistently in the interface. For example, using Standard**Single Highlight
pages , sections are listed in CSS as FeaturedBodyText with font size 12,
but when viewing the font in the properties window, it is showing size 9. I
checked the raw text in notepad and there is no font size or style assigned
other than the default CSS. The display sizes are all over the map when
published, especially when viewed with Safari on the Mac. There

Going into the code, I see what is happening. Applying font size or face
changes to selected areas of text on templates, especially multiple
paragraphs, but also for single paragraphs, will result in nested CSS files
instead of a replacement of all styles with the new one. So, for example, if
I want to enlarge the text some paragraphs to size 12, they will not
necessarily enlarge. The CSS and the manually applied style says 12 in the
properties panel, but the font will display as 9 when uploaded. On the other
hand, the default styles for body text may say 12 in the CSS, but the
properties panel will display size 9!!!**

It seems that changing text sizes will create new styles in the CSS, but it
is not being overlaid properly on existing paragraphs.**The problem is made
worse by cutting and pasting text from a Word document, HOWEVER, I find the
same problems exist simply cutting and pasting from straight text docs. This
is faulty code and it may be Contribute's weakness, and ebay thing, or the
Webassist's weakness. I am not sure.
