I have had what I believe to be problems with settings to body text not being carried over
into table cells in some version of Netscape.  So yes, I applied the styles to the <tds> as
well.  But, I would be less concerned about how the design view in Dreamweaver renders
your page than how actual web browsers render your page.  Remember, there is no DTP
for the web.  The best you can do is suggest how things should look.  At least that is the
way I approach things.
