The Style pop-up menu in the Property inspector displays both the names of styles in your page, as well as a preview
of the style’s properties. The properties shown in the preview are font family, font size, font weight, text color, and
background color.
When you use the Property inspector to apply bold or italic style, Dreamweaver automatically applies the <strong>
or <em> tag, respectively. If you are designing pages for viewers with 3.0 or older version browsers, you should change
this preference in the General category of the Preferences dialog box (Edit > Preferences).
For a tutorial on formatting text with the Property inspector, see www.adobe.com/go/vid0147 .

You can use the text Property inspector to apply HTML formatting or Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) formatting.
HTML formatting lets you select text formatting options such as font, size, bold, and italic, while CSS formatting lets
you apply a CSS class style to the selected text.
