Font/Changes not wanted

#1

I'm making minor changes to our organization website. Someone else set
this up and I just want to add text to an existing web page.

When I add an Unordered List, the font changes, possibly from Arial to
Times, it gets larger and the color changes. I mean the items in the
list are a different font and color from the paragraph before it. I'm
not adding any HTML code that changes the font or color. There's no
code in the paragraph or list that changes the font or color.

QUESTION: Why is the font and color changing?

Could it be style sheets? Is there a code, a category for style sheets
for lists? I can't find any code for this.

If you'd like to look at the web page, it's at:

Thank you,
Bill

Because the original author only specified font-family for <p> elements, not
<ul> elements.\

Move the font-family to the <body> element.

The list is the standard font and color, inherited from <body>.

body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#336699" link="#336699" vlink="#336699"
alink="#336699"

That's funny--I never knew that the body element had a text attribute in
any version of HTML. I recall fgcolor.

No fgcolor. You thinking of bgcolor?
