Hello, I am a beginner with Dreamweaver. I have a table with several columns and several rows. This was created with a different programme.
I now want to set all fonts and sizes the same. How can I do this?
Thank you very much!

It might be simpler all around to start over with one of the pre-built Starter Templates in Dreamweaver.

1. Define a site. Site > New Site...

2. Go to File > New > Starter Templates... see screenshot.

Hope that helps.

If this is for tabular data like spreadsheets or charts, I typically give the table a unique ID (#foo) and style it with custom CSS.

#foo table {

font: small-caps normal 18em/150% Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;

}

....

</table>

This would be done via CSS. Regardless of what program this was created in prior, HTML/CSS/JS are all just text files that can be opened in any text editor, including Dreamweaver, and as DW is in minimal maintenance, learning DW as an application is not recommended.

The best thing you can do to understand your code, or get assistance with what you need to do with your CSS code would be to post your sample page online for us to review and from there we can help guide you. Also if you are completely unfamiliar with CSS it might be helpful to read up as well on some intros to CSS like this one: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn/CSS/First_steps .

Ah, ok. Thank you Ben.

Just checked tha source code of the table.

There is:

That is probably the reason for rhe different fonts.

How can I use the same for all of these?

Just copy the fitting one to all Styles? Or is there a better and easier solution?

Thank you,

Robert

It's not going to be only the CSS. The CSS is what will need to be edited, but we will need the HTML as well to see the impact of the CSS on the page. With what you have presented we have no context about what CSS to edit as we don't know where it is on the page. If the page is online, the best thing you can do in this instance is to share a link so we can quickly inspect the code live to provide you guidance about the edit(s) to make.
