My company uses html files to send communications through an automated tool. I used to create the messages in frontpage and had few problems. HOwever, now we have to use sharepoint designer 2007 and I face many issues. Most importantly, when I try to add text and change the font or font size, the SPD notes it in the code as "style#". The problem is that our automated tool does not read the styles, so it all comes out in Times New Roman, even if i change the styles manually. I've tried to change the default font to Arial in SPD, but that does not help. Is there anyway to make it so that when i change a font in design mode, the code just reads "font: arial font-size: 10" and not "style#"? I want SPD to NOT create automatic style.
