SYMPTOMS
========

In FrontPage Editor, when you insert more than one <Body> tag in the HTML
source, some of the attributes do not take effect when you open the page in a
Web browser.

CAUSE
=====

Although some browsers support this functionality, FrontPage Editor can use only
one <Body> tag at a time. When FrontPage Editor encounters a second
<Body> tag, it replaces the information used in the previous <Body>
tag with the information in the subsequent <Body> tag.

WORKAROUND
==========

To work around this behavior, use either of the following methods:

- Specify all of the attributes you want to use by using a single <Body>
  tag.

  -or-

- Specify changes to the page elements--such as color, font, background,
  sounds, and so on--by clicking Page Properties on the File menu.
