apply stylesheet Method
From the client application, links a cascading style sheet to a page or to an entire Web site. This method is used to apply a style sheet as a link when no pages are open. Note that FrontPage Server Extensions from Microsoft treats the style sheet as a theme so that the apply_opt parameter determines how to apply the style sheet.
In Microsoft FrontPage, click Style Sheet Links on the Format menu to display the Link Style Sheet dialog box. Click either All pages or Selected pages and then click Add to enter the URL of the style sheet you want to use.
