First paragraph has different font than rest of page.

Article ID: KB101662

Question: The first paragraph has different fonts than the rest of the text.

Answer: First, this is usually only a problem if you are using a template that has CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) formatting. This might be in an external stylesheet file, or, if you are using FrontPage, it might be part of a FrontPage Theme applied with CSS.

If your situation falls under either of those cases, most likely what has happened is that your first "paragraph" is not a true paragraph in the HTML code. Usually, paragraphs will have the paragraph tags (<p> ... </p>) surrounding them, like this:

<p>This is a paragraph.</p>

Look in your HTML code by your first paragraph and you will most likely see that it is not surrounded by paragraph tags, but looks more like this:

This is the first paragraph
<p>This is the second paragraph.</p>

Go ahead and add the paragraph tags around the first paragraph, like this:

<p>This is the first paragraph</p>
<p>This is the second paragraph.</p>

This should fix the issue.
