Seems the redesign of DW CS4 rearranged the Properties tab and added/removed some features... the one I miss the most is the simple Left, Center Right and Justify buttons that used to be along side the indents etc. seems now, we simply need to add more wrist action to go to the top bar and select FORMAT then ALIGN then whatever... now how's that for a giant step backward?

You need to learn the role of the Targeted Rule drop-down menu in the
CSS view of the Property inspector.

The old way of doing it inserted deprecated attributes in the HTML. CS4
encourages you to make full use of CSS and the cascade. If you're not up
to speed on CSS, it might take you a while to learn how to use it, but
it should speed up your development in the long run.

Oops!

I slap myself in da 4head and exclaim a simple "Duh"

I just went from CS3 to CS4 and... well... forgive my stupidity but I blew past the CSS button dropdown selects.

Reading would have helped


thanks again!

... which I do but the CCS button affects everything related to the CSS and not that specific section of text or whatever... then again, I've been known to be wrong. <grin> Problem may be that we have to use 4 CSS on each of our templated pages... CS3 has the buttons readily available and they only affect that section of font

thanks for the quick reply!
