By default, Dreamweaver uses Cascading Style Sheets to format text. The styles that you apply to text using the Property inspector or menu commands create rules that are embedded in the head of the current document. styles provide you with greater flexibility and control over the appearance of your page, from the precise positioning of layout to specific fonts and text styles.
You can also use the Styles panel to create and edit rules and properties. The Styles panel is a much more robust editor than the Property inspector, and displays all rules defined for the current document, whether those rules are embedded in the head of the document or in an external style sheet. Macromedia recommends that you use the Styles panel rather than the Property inspector as the primary tool for creating and editing your . As a result, your code will be cleaner and easier to maintain.
In addition to styles and style sheets you create, you can use style sheets that come with Dreamweaver to apply styles to your documents. See Creating a document based on a Dreamweaver design file.
