Dreamweaver goes right to the first matching property.
Press Enter (Return) after you??™ve found your match to move to the second column to enter the desired value(s).
You can add new properties through the CSS Styles panel in either All or Current modes. All mode works
best when you??™re editing CSS from a top-down perspective. If you??™d prefer a bottom-up approach, switch to
Current mode and select the tag containing the existing style rather than the style itself.

Managing CSS rules
The development of the CSS rules for a site is an evolutionary process. The designer may start by embedding
CSS layout rules in the basic page and, when the design is locked down, elect to move the rules to an
external sheet. Or, before publishing the final style sheets, the designer may prefer to clean them up, grouping
similar styles together for added clarity. Dreamweaver offers a number of key tools to help designers
manipulate their CSS rules however they choose.
Prior to Dreamweaver CS3, the only way to effectively move CSS rules within a style sheet or
from one style sheet to another was good old cut and paste. Now, managing your CSS rules is
both intuitive and fast. You can, for example, simply drag and drop a CSS rule from one location in your style
sheet to another??”right in the CSS Styles panel.
