Editing and Location of HTML/CSS Source

Thank you Argos. I actually figured out the major problem I had had before, and I apologize for not noticing it earlier.

I could not see the results of the template.css edits, because of Firtefox 3.5 settings (may be default): 'install extensions and themes' on Page Info and 'Open Pop Up Window' were set to 'block.' After I changed both, the results of all edits showed up. I found this out by trying IE....

However, I have a couple of 'excuses:' even with the previous settings I was able to see the edits of one of the template's sections; also the copied from the Word text DID change some of the 1024 fonts (though you said it should not and I agree). I don't know whether these weird things were happening due to the faulty template or my installation or the Firefox...

I'm still not sure (based on your comments) whether it's normal to have different templates set for different pages on the site. It looks like WB allows it through settings, and it's a good feature to have (I hope it's not happening due to the faulty installation).

Note: I do everything locally at this point on XAMP.

Argos:
Pasting Word into the editor can and will probably design stuff like colors, fonts, font sizes, etc. But the content (so everything you put in the editor) is not part of the template, even though there are probably content styles in the stylesheet that comes with the editor. Pasting styled content (wether from Word or another styled source) will almost certainly override the styles from the stylesheet. So the Word stuff did not change the font settings from the template, or the template itself. It just overrode it, because styles from the editor are local styles, and local styles always override css file styles.

Yes, it's perfectly allright to have different templates for different pages, that is exactly what that function is for. You set a default one for the whole site, but if you set another template on page level, the page level one takes over. Just like local styles take over from default styles.
