You can suggest.  On the WWW you do not have "control", that's in the
hands of the readers.

Consult the FAQ-ish resources of this group.  You'll need to learn how
to get around Netscape's bugs - in this case, probably the one where it
fails to inherit the BODY style into the table cells.  A good starting
point would be http://home.att.net/%7Esjacct/

After you're familiar with the resources, the best way to ask a question
about a specific problem is to make a little page that demonstrates the
problem, and post its URL with your question.  "I have to go to each TD
and set the font to paragraph style"  isn't a very clear statement of
problem: if you give people something concrete to look at, you'll avoid
getting lots of answers to the wrong question.

From what I've read of the FAQ's and bug reports, it sounds like all table
control resides in the TR level or below (ie, you can't specify much
overall control in the <TABLE> element.  the only other fix I can think of
is setting the font in the body element (which I think I might have done
on my incomplete site)

Setting
TD { font-family: Arial, sans-serif; }
(or whichever font you want) in the style sheet should do the trick,
shouldn't it?
It seems to override the lack of inheritance from BODY in NN4.
