I think you can configure DW to not use the font tag and use CSS instead. If I used Windows I would use DW again for sure it rocks.

Put this in the skin1.css

table.important_message {	
	background-color: orange;
	font-size: .75em;
}
table.important_message tr {
	background-color: #D6E7EF;
}
table.important_message tr td { 
	color: #CC6600;
}

Here is the HTML to put where you wish.

<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="3" class="important_message">
	<tr>
	   <td colspan="2" align="center" valign="top">
	   	<u>IMPORTANT MESSAGE</u>


	            THE ITEM/S IN YOUR CART ARE:
		</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="50%" valign="top">[*]ARE DURABLE &amp; SHATTERPROOF[*]IN STOCK[*]GOVERNMENT TESTED UV400 PROTECTION[*]BUY 1 GET 1 OF THE SAME STYLE FREE (UNLESS QTY IS MARKED 1)
      </td>
    <td valign="top">[*]WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 48 HOURS[*]CARRY A 30-DAY MONEY BACK GUARANTEE[*]ARE IN A SECURE CART/WEBSITE[*]ARE SOLD TO YOU BY  XXXXXXXX.com A PIONEER IN ECOMMERCE SHOPPING SINCE 2001</td>
  </tr>
</table>

You might want to mess with the font-size in the CSS or get rid of it altogether.
