Edit a cascading style sheet

Edit an external CSS

To modify a style that is contained in an external cascading style sheet (CSS), do the following:

1. On the View menu, click Folders.
2. In the Folders list, double-click the CSS you want to open.

   External style sheets have a .css extension.

3. On the Format menu, click Style.
4. In the List box, click the type of style you want to modify.
   • To modify a style you've created, click User-defined styles.
   • To modify a standard HTML tag, click All HTML tags.
5. In the Styles box, double-click the style you want to modify.
6. Under Style type, choose Paragraph or Character.

   Note   Some styles may not have this choice.

7. Click Format, and then specify the attributes you want to format:

   • To set font properties — such as the font family or color, or character spacing — click Font.

   • To set alignment, indentation, or spacing, click Paragraph.
   • To set borders and shading, click Border.
   • To set the style of bullets and numbering, click Numbering.
   • To set positioning properties — such as wrapping style, location, or z-order — click Position.
8. Close all dialog boxes to return to the CSS.

Notes

• If you're familiar with CSS syntax, you can edit the text of the CSS directly on the style sheet in Page view.
• This procedure works for both a style sheet you create and for a CSS generated for a theme.
