Quicker way of separating CSS rules into multiple sheets?

    I am making a separate CSS file for my site, and I was wondering if there was a faster way to do it than to just cut/paste the code over. While I know the pros & cons of using multiple stylesheets, I'm still in the first stages of getting my site a good and consistent "look". I'm using Dreamweaver, but I have plenty of other apps available to me. What do others recommend I do?

    I personally like to use separate style sheets like this:

    globals.css (Contains the standard stuff. body, links, paragraphs, headers)
    styles.css (All other content on the pages excluding print and navigation)
    print.css (obvious)
    navigation.css (for all navigation items)

    This allows me to find what I need quickly instead of having to scan through one long style sheet.

    Long story short I start with a page that has all the styles right there and cut and paste out of the main page into the respective style sheets.

    I found small window in Dreamweaver, that I hadn't seen before, which allows me to copy/paste CSS properties at will.
