    I'm using Dreamweaver CS5.5 and I don't know how can I change the color of selected text. Can you advise me how to do it? I just need to change the color of the text of one paragraph on my website.

    Please tell me what should I click.

    very simple really.... go to the css and use color:*****

    eg
    (assuming that you have a dviv with an ID demo)

    #demo p{
    color:red;
    }

    if the main div is already given a master color "id" then you need to give a sub class code as

    color: #ff6600;

    Wait a second you think that might help him ? So you're not sure that the Adobe website has the necessary information ? I mean they built the product surely they know how to use it .

    Thanks guys for your replies. I've already found out how to do it. You need to click Format > Color.

    can it also be done in the page properties by selecting the text? or is that something that only affects pages that r used w/ style sheets?
