I am new to Dreamweaver.  I am a MAC user (OS Monterey v 12.6.2).  I am having NO LUCK changing the color of selected text.  Hoping someone can help!

p.s. i don't think the adobe website, and forums in particular, are easy to navigate, so don't spend a lot of time searching that forum list. do your best and we'll move the post (like this one has already been moved) if it helps you get responses.

Perhaps my French is misleading me and I haven't understood the question, but it seems to me that @Carol33481124bgrk , when talking about the selected text... i.e. the text being selected, isn't talking about CSS in general, but about modifying the CSS used by the code editor theme itself. 

So , if that is the case, the following help page allows the coders to intervene directly on the code editor integrated into DW at multiple levels, including theme-specific css files used by the editor, and thus highlighting of selected text https://helpx.adobe.com/dreamweaver/using/setting-coding-preferences.html

But once again, I may have misunderstood the question.

Answers are in your code. 

Show us your HTML and CSS code.

CODE EXAMPLE:

<p>This is a normal paragraph style.</p>

<p style="color: red; font-weight: bold;">This is a custom styled paragraph.</p>

RESULT:

This is a normal paragraph style.

This is a custom styled paragraph.
