Change Font in Dreamweaver Using HTML & CSS Like most WYSWYG (What You See Is What You Get) HTML editor, Dreamweaver has the ability to just select the text and change font, color etc.. . But there are two ways that you can change the text: HTML and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). In Dreamweaver, these 2 methods are sometimes confused, and it can be a bit confusing about which method you use. On the one hand, if you choose CSS, Dreamweaver will create some CSS definitions at the top of the page. CSS definition at the top of the page might look like: And the text that you highlight the page may have code that looks like: light blue text There is also the option of using tradtional HTML to change the fonts and colors: The code generated above text might look like: Like this So which one should you use and how do you choose if you want to use HTML or CSS? CSS is wonderful, it has used, and some people may prefer to use it all the time, but I prefer to use it in select cases where it is definitely the best option. Modify your HTML / CSS settings, go to: Edit> Preferences in Dreamweaver And check or uncheck to use CSS instead of HTML tags box depending on which option you want. I also recommend to use external CSS style sheets on sites. Dreamweaver makes it easy, and use an external sheet, you can update the style of thousands of websites in seconds.
