How does one export a style sheet?

Adobe Frame 12 help says:

"You can also use style sheets (.css) to manage the styles in the published output. In this case, you can export the current styles to a .css file. You can then open this file in a text or .css editor (such as Adobe Dreamweaver), make changes to the styles in this file and import the file back.

To export and import the style sheet:

  1. To export the output styles defined for the current output, click Export . "

OK, so where is this?

Nothing I can find on the menus provide this option displaying regular Frame or XML view.

Also, when I find it, do I need to load the css into Dreamweaver? Shouldn't I be able to use the XML view?

No Colum, I've since found it. (Actually I found a video by Bernard A. that explained a bit).

In the "Publish" pod are 5 choices (epub, html, etc) and selecting one highlights a button for settings. Edit settings has TWO tabs, one called Style Mappings which is where the button for Import/Export styles can be found.

There's a button there for Automap Paragraph Styles which I'm going to experiment with next.

Thanks for your efforts to solve my huge learning curve.

FrameMaker is not really designed for web based output so it doesn't use CSS. This sounds like it is refering to the ability to link FrameMaker content to a RoboHelp project in order to output web based files. It does use CSS. Could this be it?

Could you post a screen shot of the help? If it does say this I suspect it is incorrect or misleading.
