Dreamweaver in a Nutshell

Applying HTML Styles

Once you have created your HTML styles, you can apply them as follows:

Select the text to which you want to apply the style (if applying a paragraph format, click anywhere in the paragraph—you don’t need to select the entire paragraph). Then:

• Select a style in the HTML Styles panel and click the Apply button (see Figure 11-1). If the Auto Apply checkbox is enabled, you don’t need to click the Apply button.

• Select Text → HTML Styles → styleName .

• Right-click (Windows) or Ctrl-click (Macintosh) on the selection in the Document window and choose HTML Styles → styleName from the contextual menu.

For example, if you applied a left-aligned paragraph style that uses Size 2, black, Arial text to the following text:

This site is still under construction. Please check back soon.

The result would be:

<p align="left">
   <font face="Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2" color="#000000">
     This site is still under construction. Please check back soon.
   </font>
</p>

If you applied a character style that uses Size 2, black, italicized Book Antiqua text instead, the result might be:

This site is still under <i><font face="Book Antiqua, Times New Roman" 
size="2" color="#000000">construction</font></i>. Please check back soon.
