I replaced the flapper, yet the toilet continues to leak from the tank
to the bowl. Do you know of a technique to cause the flapper to seat
without leaking?

In addition to what others have told you, you may have deposits on the
seat which contacts the flapper. I had that problem - it was from
deposits in the water supply. I ended up removing them with 0000
steel wool. After that, things worked fine.
