From CS3 to CS5,..challenged in the history brush

Question

I get no changes when using the history brush. Think I am using it in a similar fashion as I did in CS3 and have tried multiple ways of using it. Help anyone...

Hi Murryay,
Here is the code and when I was working in CS3 I could just change the colour of anything I highlighted within this table box, but now it changes the colour of all the text in this box and all the other sections of the same table. 
<th height="58" align="left" class="style24" scope="row"><span class="style42"><span class="style61">*</span> 5th February 2012</span><span class="style25">               <span class="style21">MNC LAN Meeting</span><br />
Contact: Leigh <br />
Venue: </span> at the new home of Kerrie &amp; Lindsay - Colombatti. A full address and directions will be provided a.s.a.p. </th>

You will have noticed in the above code that DW CS 5.5 works with CSS styles and so you need to be able to manipulate styles effectively to get the best results.
In your code you have: Style24, style42, style61, style25, style21.  Now this is definitnitely a recipe for disaster because of so many styles in such a short code.
To change the color, you need to go to these styles and enter the code manually.  to change color of the text, the code is:
color: red;  /* or enter any hexadecimal code of your chose like #ffffff */
The summary of the necessary codes would like this:
table {
    background-color: lime;
    color: fuchsia;
td {
    background-color: blue;
    color: yellow;
tr {
    background-color: red;
    color: white;
I hope you ge the idea.
