How to set CSS Style preferences in Dreamweaver

Learn how to use CSS style preferences to control how Dreamweaver writes the code that defines CSS styles.

CSS style preferences control how Dreamweaver writes the code that defines CSS styles. CSS styles can be written in a shorthand form that some people find easier to work with. Some older versions of browsers, however, do not correctly interpret the shorthand.

Select Edit > Preferences (Windows) or Dreamweaver > Preferences (Macintosh) and from the Category list select CSS Styles.

Set the CSS style options you want to apply:
