Question with OpenOffice and CSS - Tech Support Forums

Hey, I decided I would try using the HTML editor that OpenOffice has for a change. Currently I just use wordpad and then check it out in Firefox and IE to make sure it looks right. I can't seem to get OpenOffice to use the CSS file for the formatting. If anyone knows how to get it to recognize the CSS that would be great. Thanks

Yeah. It works when I just open the page up in Firefox or IE or whatever. Until now I've just been using wordpad for html since that's what I had when I learned.

<style type="text/css" media="all">@import "layout1.css";</style>

That's the code that's worked thus far. It's different then what that website says to use but it works in every browser I've tried. I'll try using that code and get back to you...

Well, that brought it closer, it at least appears to be trying! I'll have to play around with it, it still isn't reading it right but it at least is using it to some extent. Thanks for your quick replies!
