Title says it all.

using DW CS6 fluid grid. but I copy pasted 90 pages of a wordpress site to be formated. the thing is it is already numbered and lettered.

So I make ol of it all and now I want to edit the list properties, as I do not like 1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1.1 etc I prefer a.1.i etc

how to edit the list properties in dw cs6, as the normal way does not work: select <ol> format list properties.
is there an update to that removes this bug?

    I've been saying web-devlopment these days is bordering on insanity....this sort of proves my point.

      In this case, I may agree with you. 

      FluidGrids + WordPress =

          ============

          This is ugly on so many levels.  Here's why:

          1. CS6 is 10 years out of date (obsolete software), discontinued & unsupported.

          2. Fluid Grids were a bad idea 10 years ago.  Since then Adobe abandoned FluidGrids and replaced it with Bootstrap.

          3. What are you hoping to gain from pasting WordPress (a dynamic PHP/MySQL site) into static HTML?

           

          Text is styled with CSS, not HTML.  See example below.

           

          <!doctype html>
<html lang="eng">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<title>Ordered List</title>

<style>
ol li li {list-style-type: upper-alpha;
}
ol li li li {list-style-type:decimal}

</style>
</head>
<body>
<ol>
  <li>List Item</li>
  <li>List Item</li>
  <li>List Item
    <ol>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item
        <ol>
          <li>List Item</li>
          <li>List Item</li>
          <li>List Item</li>
        </ol>
      </li>
      <li>List Item</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>List Item</li>
  <li>List Item
    <ol>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item</li>
      <li>List Item</li>
    </ol>
  </li>
  <li>List Item</li>
  <li>List Item</li>
</ol>
</body>
</html>

           

          Hope that helps.

            The thing is, I just made it with fluidgride template. it comes with a css file and boilerplate css and js files

            there already is a css list area as following:

            ul, ol { margin: 1em 0; padding: 0 0 0 40px; }
            dd { margin: 0 0 0 0px; }
            nav ul, nav ol { list-style: none; list-style-image: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }

            if I understand you correctly I should swap that out for the code:
            ol li {list-style-type:lower-alpha;}
            ol li li {list-style-type: decimal;}
            ol li li li {list-style-type:lower-roman}
            and actually if we have upto 7 layers, is there a cheat sheet to know all available list styles?

            thanks for the info.

            greets,

            Roy
