Can anyone please tell me how I can change the coloring of the text for the whole page in one shot without having to do it one at a time?
I don't think I understand the question Where exacly you trying to change the text colour? site it self if so what site you running ?
If you have the font color set all over your html coding then you could use a good search and replace program. There are many on the internet. A search on downloads.com may help. I use a freeware one that is not supported anymore (I dont think) it is called search and replace 98. I find it very easy to use. You can download it from here:- http://www.brothersoft.com/search-and-replace-98-download-5542.html I advise you practice with it first of a free template or something. Hope that helps
If you don't understand external CSS then you can do it individually using page properties or use the default font on Dreamweaver=> preferences for mac or Edit=> preferences for windows.
