Not sure what I’m doing wrong here but I’m having trouble with differences between what appears on the page (in design) and what appears in preview view. Two instances:
I have a heading style set at size=+2/18pts which looks fine in design but when published jumps up to 24pts
I have a list style which is set to helvetica and looks fine in design but comes out as serif when published.
I’ve tried a number of things to remedy including deleting an item and starting again but nothing seems to fix the problem. Ideas please.

Could you post a link to a page that shows examples of these
problems? Although I could make some guesses, it’d be easier if we
could take a peek at the final problematic result.
If you go to http://www.sydneydoula.com/whyadoula.html you will see a page as intended. (I have forced graphics on the header here to get the effect I want; I’d prefer not to have to do this)
If you go to http://www.sydneydoula.com/example.html you’ll see the same page with the header as text. It looks correct in the design view but when published comes out bolder and larger.
(Could it have something to do with having spaced out the text?)
Thanks,
David
PS This doesn’t show the bullet issue but I’m not so concerned about that.

Not being a coder I am not sure exactly what that means but certainly the size is not represented in points but a percentage. Are you sure you spaced out the text or accidentally did something else.
I think I would be checking the attributes of your h2 style, including its extended ones, in case there is a problem there.
By default H tags create bold text so if you don’t want the bold then open the h2 style used on the problem text and click the Extended button and add this:
Name: font-weight
Value: normal
Your text will render normally.
