Text missing in dreamweaver properties

I plan to use dreamweaver for Email Design...

===========

• Nothing can prepare you for how frustrating email is.  Sorry, but that's the truth.
• Email clients don't behave the same as web browsers.
• Outlook, Gmail, Yahoo, Apple Mail, etc... don't adhere to the same coding rules, and each one is slightly different from all the others.
• Dreamweaver is not an email composer. It's a website builder. 

With that in mind, I recommend that you take some structured courses in Email Development. It's a sub-specialty that requires additional know-how to get good results on various devices and email systems.  Start with this beginner's video on YouTube.

Good luck. 

No disrespect to David Powers, but 'Bayside Beat' is an obsolete tutorial. A lot has changed in web design in the past 10 years since that was written. 

I urge you to find more contemporary learning resources on CSS Flexbox, CSS Grids or using Responsive Frameworks like Bootstrap Version 5.0.  

Start your coding tutorials below.

Read chapters, do code exercises, take quizzes at the end. 

If you can work with code, you can create anything your heart desires in any code editor you choose to use.

Hope that helps.

You haven't missed much in DW as it hasn't been updated in a couple of years. But from yoru screenshot you are looking at the HTML. If you click the CSS you should still see options for bold on text. However, using the UI really would not be recommended. I would personally recommend a pure HTML/CSS tutorial, not specific to DW to learn how to code CSS classes as a base for coding your website.
