Hi Steve (and anyone else who might be reading this),

I figured it out. Just for kicks, I took off the bold for the link  
and low and behold, the black link text (non hover) actually got  
lighter/less dense! It was working all along. It seems that IE7's  
"bold" black text is just baaarrrllly bold. So I guess that's just  
the way it is. Anyway, that's what I found out. Thanks to all your help.

Mark

p.s. On to the next problem... :)
