For each page you create in Dreamweaver, you can specify layout and formatting properties using the Page Properties dialog box (Modify > Page Properties). The Page Properties dialog box lets you specify the default font family and font size, background color, margins, link styles, and many other aspects of page design. You can assign new page properties for each new page you create, and modify those for existing pages

By default, Dreamweaver formats text using CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). You can change the page-formatting preferences to HTML formatting using the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences). When using CSS page properties, CSS tags are used for all properties defined in the Appearance, Links, and Headings categories of the Page Properties dialog box. The CSS tags defining these attributes are embedded in the head section of the page.
