CSS changing default text in BODY tag

[DavH27]

I'm having serious problems with using CSS to change the way all text appears by default.

I would appreciate if people could lend a hand.

I want CSS to change the text even if it's not in a P tag. I can change the P tag but not if it's outside the P tag. If I remember, I should be changing the text formating using the BODY tag in the CSS file but it's a complete disaster.

that is weird.. it may be something to do with geocities.

try this:

<style>
* {
  font-family: Courier New;
}
</style>

Great scott, it worked!! You, sir, are a freaking GENIUS! Now, how does this work if it doesn't designate a tag to format? Does the * act a a wildcard and cover ALL the tags?
