If you choose the same color, font face, or size as an existing style??”whether it??™s an automatically
generated style or not??”Dreamweaver uses the existing style and, if necessary, deletes the temporary
style. Any style created can be modified to add other characteristics or renamed to fit within your
naming scheme.
Walk through the following steps to see how Dreamweaver automatically builds styles:
1. Select the text you want to style, either by highlighting it or choosing the tag from the Tag
Selector. If you select a portion of text rather than the entire tag, the style is applied to a
tag surrounding your selection; otherwise, the style is applied to the containing element, like a

or heading tag.
2. From the Property inspector, select a new typeface for the text by choosing Geneva, Arial,
Helvetica, sans serif from the Font list. Dreamweaver creates a new CSS class called styleN,
where N is an incrementing number starting with 1; if this is the first automatically generated style
on the page, the style is called style1. The style is applied to the tag containing the text and
listed both in the CSS Styles panel and the Property inspector Styles list as shown in Figure 7-4.
