styles page.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in the versions of Microsoft
FrontPage listed at the beginning of this article.
MORE INFORMATION
When you decide to use another page as the source for background and color settings,
FrontPage reads the background and color settings from that page and writes those
settings to the current page. These settings are attributes of the <body> tag.
FrontPage also adds the stylesrc attribute to the <body> tag as a reference to
the styles page. Hence, any changes made to the styles page will be reflected in the
page from which it gets it's background styles and colors.
