The easiest way to find styles is to view the page in your browser and then choose View Source to see the actual HTML code. Search for the text you want to modify and see what class or id is associated with it. If the text is in the content of the page, then the class is in the pcStoreFront.css file. If it is in the header or footer then it is in the pcHeaderFooter.css file.

In this case, there are several styles that may affect the shopping cart:

.pcMainTable th and .pcMainTable p and .pcShowCart...

Search for those in pcStoreFront.css and see if that helps.

You would need to have either FrontPage access or FTP access to the web site. Open the correct CSS file, make your edits using a web editor or text editor and save the modified file back to your web site.

There is no CSS editor built into Product Cart.

You don't have to use FrontPage. You can use DreamWeaver or whatever web editing tool you're comfortable with. Since Product Cart is an ASP (Active Server Pages) application, it is always setup on a Windows server and many of them allow direct access with FrontPage.

For FTP access you would need to talk with your client or their web hosting service. They should be able to give you the login info or setup FTP for you.
