Just Installed CS4; Need Help With Font Names/Colors/Sizes

In past versions of Dreamweaver, I think I clicked on "Use HTML instead of CSS" in the Preferences. I need to be able to select the font names, colors, and sizes from the Property Inspector.
How do I set it up the same way in CS4. I have clicked on the toggle button in the Property Inspector for HTML instead of CSS, but it doesn't give me the menus to select font names (Arial, Helvetica, etc.), font size (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) and font color (imagine your own).
Thanks!
Mike

DW CS4 makes you use the CSS properties inspector because CSS is the defacto web standard now. HTML formatting is deprecated (obsolete) according to W3C web standards.
There are three ways to use CSS in your site pages.
Inline: A one-time style applied within the code as an attribute of a given element (or tag). This is similar to the old HTML formatting method but the code itself is a little different.
Embedded: A style sheet declaration in the head of the document that will only effect that single page on the site.
External: A physical CSS file containing rules (styles) that is linked to from multiple pages within the site.
It doesn't matter if you have dynamically generated or static web pages. CSS is still the most efficient way to style your content.
DW CS4 - What's new in the Properties Inspector?

FW CS4 need help with gradients & png files

Relatively new to FW CS4. I have a png file for use in a PV7 css based site. Read the docs and still can't figure this out. The png file is a base image with 3 color sections. I need to change these three original individual sections to a new color scheme...I can use a regular fill...but I would like to keep the slight fading effect of the original pngs. In addition...the png's are obviously in png format..but if I export as jpg will I loose the gradient fill/opacity effect in a jpg file ?
Original png...want to change to light blue tones: Note the fading to the right side of the outside columns.
If not...how do I change the color scheme in each section of the original png ? Or do I export as is and modify the resulting jpg's ?
If I use a gradient fill or paint bucket...the effect just overlays the original gold type color...giving me a new color all together with the original background still partially showing through underneath the new color change ?
If I delete the gold tones in the png image...then I can't fill the empty space with any other color...nothing works. I've also tried color find/replace
but with no results or changes.
Second problem is when I do apply gradient fills to this png...or jpg...the fill seems to me to be from top to bottom of the section ? I need the fill to move from left to right as above ? Any ideas here also ??
I posted on the PV7 FW group but it's not that active and was more confused by the answers ?
Thanks much...I'm stuck for now.

After following Lorains' gradient link, when you have the first box tweaked to your liking and you need it replicated to the remaining two boxes (without having to go through the process again)
1. Select the box that has the new Gradient, then Edit > Copy (or Ctrl/Command + C)
Then select the remaining two boxes that need the new gradient style, then Edit > Paste Attributes
This process with carry over (copy/paste attributes) the first box to the others.
Or
2. Select the box that has the new Gradient changes, then in the Property Inspector (PI), to the far right, tick the small icon under to create a New (Object) Style. Once created, open the Window > Styles Panel. Select the two remaining boxes on the canvas then click the New Style icon in the Styles Panel to apply.
1. is memory resident/temporary and will be lost when you later utilize the Copy command. But 2 has more 'staying' power and you can reuse it, go back to it, save it to disk, and tweak it further to create new ones at any time.
If you absolutely have to keep the final result as a .jpg, then turn off the Canvas color. Open the Window > Optimize Panel, set the output to jpg, BUT set the MATTE color to the color that matches the background of your page.
Otherwise, output to .png8/png32 with Transparency .

Need help with font and bug with properties inspector bug

Hey guys,
I recentely bought a account at dreamtemplate and i'm working on creating my first website, ive got the basic down but whenever i want to change the font of one character in a word( lets say the k in kind to a different font) it switched the entire word or sentence to that font. ive contacted dreamtemplate about it and this is the solution they gave me but i dont understand it:
To change the font, you need to put the TrueType font files of edwardian and Kunstler in the font file of the template folder.
You may change the font of one character in a word as below.
For example:
In the HTML file,
<h2 class="title"><span class="newfont">l</span>atest </span> <span >projects</span></h2>
In the CSS file,
@font-face {
font-family: 'Kunstler';
src: url('/fonts/Kunstler/Kunstler Script.eot');
src: url('/fonts/Kunstler/ds-digi-webfonteot?#iefix') format('embedded-opentype'), url('/fonts/Kunstler/Script.woff') format('woff'), url('/fonts/Kunstler/Kunstler Script.ttf') format('truetype'), url('/fonts/Kunstler/Kunstler Script.svg#ds-digi-webfont') format('svg');
.newfont{font-family: 'Kunstler'!important;}
Feel free to contact us if you need any further assistance.
if anyone can shed some light and knowledge on how to apply it that would be amazing.
Also another problem i've been experiencing is that whenever i edit something in an html file (index.html) and save it and view it none of the changes show up besides the change in words(ie. no font change, no size change) but pictures are fine.
Now my last which has bothered me a lot latly is an issue with my propertie inspector box, It works fine with an html file but whenever i try to edit a .js file it either goes blank or is greyed out, i've searched for solutions and have made sure im not in live mode, but no luck, i even reinstalled DW, still no luck. I need to edit a menu bar that is a .js and i cant do it with this issue. if anyone needs further info let me know.
thanks in advance

Before you get any deeper with this, you really need to learn all you can about HTML code and it's relationship with CSS. Otherwise you will be forever confused, frustrated and incapable of understanding the answers we give you.

When you have a firm grasp of the fundamentals, spend a few hours doing this 5-part tutorial on how to use DW. It's time well spent.

PhotoShop Elements 10...I need help with font size for watermark in Processing Multiple Files.....

I have PhotoShop Elements 10, and I am trying to watermark some of my photos, I have successfully added them one at a time with a font large enough to be seen. Now I am trying to add it using the "process multiple files" , I can do that but the font even at 72 the largest setting is so small on the photo you can barely read it! Can anyone help me the size larger on my photos?

Thank you, Michael. I just watched the Russell Brown video again for CS6 and looked real closely at his settings in ACR and he was using 240ppi. I changed my file in image size to 240 ppi and then ran the script and the layer didn't change size this time when I ran the script.
It is kind of annoying to have to change the image size everytime I want to run this script and then change it back again as most of my files are 300 ppi. I used to run his script for edit in ARC in CS5 and recall that if I just remembered to change the settings in ARC to 300 ppi while the script was playing and before pressing 'open' that the image wouldn't change size during the raw processing, but this doesn't seem to be working in CS6. Do you know of a way to use this script and not have to change the ppi for the image to 240?
Thanks again.

Need help with updating Name Server update for home webserver

I set up a webserver at home to run my own domain/website. I am able to type my IP address into Safari/IE and get to my website fine. I now need to update the NameServer with the previous domain hosting service, but I have no idea how to find out the NameServer (Compast is my ISP) to put into the UPDATE NAME SERVERS form for the previous hosting company. I need to obviosly do this before people who type in my web address can be directed to my home server instead of the old hsoting company. The previous hosting server is ns.teammediaonline and ns1.teammediaonline.com. Do I use something like ns.comcast.net or something? I already have the IP address and know it works fine. Comcast does notchange the IP's too often and I will not have much traffic to my site, so I should not have any issues with them. I am sure this is a very simple issue. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi--
You definitely do not want to contact Comcast. Servers are forbidden to their residential customers. If you contacted them, not only would they refuse to help, that might put you on a list to watch in case you do set one up. Now, if you're careful, don't server out a lot of traffic, and aren't a general nuisance to the people on your node, they most likely won't notice if you don't contact them.
However, you'll need to look into a different DNS solution. Do a search for "Dynamic DNS" and you'll find a number of services that will be able to help you out. This one, DynDNS, has some reading material that might help to explain what you need to do...

Re-installing OS, need help with applications

I just got my iMac G5 desktop back from the shop today after having the hard drive repaired. Fortunately, I am good about doing my backups, but I have never had a total hard drive failure before on a Mac.
I don't want to go through the bother of re-installing every little app if I don't have to. I know I can transfer from another Mac, but is there anyway for me to do the same thing directly with my FireWire external (which is where my backup currently is)?
Any ideas?

If your back up is a clone then just go to Application/Utilities and open Migration Assistant and follow the instructions.

Error message photoshop cs4 need help with

I get this message when in view of pdf open - how do I do what it says to do win7 pc
TIA

There's not much you can do about that message. Depending on how much video card memory you have and the resolution of your monitor you'll only be able to open a limited number of windows and still have OpenGL acceleration. You'll have to either lower the resolution of your monitor (not recommended), buy a video card with more memory (i doubt it'll help a lot when dealing PDF's with a ton of pages), upgrade to Photoshop CS5 (it slightly sidesteps this issue) or just live with that limitation.
Also, that's not an error message, it's just a warning telling you that you won't be able to use the OpenGL features on more than 25 (in your case) windows/documents at a time.

I need help with the name of something

You know when you go to a concert or live event and their are multi cameras which are being controlled by some system where like in FCP where they have the Multi Cam option where you just choose which camera you want to go live too? Anyway someone wanted me to record an event tonight where they said there are 8 plasma tvs and he wants me going around and getting footage that will display live on this TV! I kind of want to tell this guy that this is a very expensive thing to do I just dont know what the name of it is called when you have multiple cameras and you are controlling the cameras from a editing system..

Sounds like to me you're talking about a SWITCHER. Basically, all the video sources (cameras) would be fed into the switching device. Then you use the switcher's control surface to cut/dissolve/star wipe, etc. between the incoming sources. The final output is routed to some type of capture/recording device.
It's like editing, LIVE, with no "undo" buttons. However you switch things ends up on the "master".

Jtable need help with column name

hi, i'm currently working on a project where my jtable grab data from the database.
as for the where clause i am thinking if i can get the column name as the field name in the table. However, I would like to hide the field name from the user.
So, I'm here to kindly ask if there is a way that i can display the column name that is hidden from the field name.
thanks in advance.

actually, I am thinking of a lazy way to add the 'where' clause for my sql statement.
so, instead of detecting which column that is related to the field i can just use the columns header name as my field. But on the other hand, I'd like to hide my field name from the user .
For say my field name is "emp_no" but it is displayed as "Employee No" to the user. and when i do my sql statement i can do something like this:
select * from emp_details where + jtable.getcolumnname(i).tostring() + = jtable.getvalueat(j,i)
is there a way i can do it so???
thanks again. and thanks for the reply

Need help with Host Name

I have several Macs and PC connected through my wireless network. On My wireless router I am able to see all the computers connected. All the PC's show their Host Name. All of the Macs show their correct IP addresses but show a host name of unknown. I have gone to system preferences and from there gone to sharing and set the macs local hostname to xxx.local. I have not checked the 'Use dynamic global hostname' option. After doing this the host name still shows as unknown. Where do I go in a mac to properly set the host name so it will show up on the wireless networks as well as the ip address?
Thanks in advance for all help.

Setting the host name in sharing was the answer. A reboot was required.

Need help with administrator name and password

I was messing around on my macbook awhile ago and tried to change around my adminstrator name and now whenever I try to update I can't because the administrator name is wrong. I've tried setting it to different things but it never works. How do I re-set my administrator name and password so i can update?!

Follow the instructions in this FAQ to regain administrator access to the computer. If there is an Open Firmware password set on the machine, the method documented will not work and you won't be able to resolve this issue on your own; in this case, take it to a retail Apple Store or other AASP.

Need help with transparency and color quality in the forground

I need to make an image that is comprised of a collage in the back with a clear visible logo on top. I'm not sure if I'll need to change the hue's of the background collage images to create the image or if theres a way to make the image somewhat see through but keep true to the colors of the forground?

I agree with Trevor. I think you are over thinking the issue. Just place a logo in the same document, scale it, adjust its opacity if necessary and your done. As for the background of the logo, that can depend on how it was created. Preferable in photoshop so that you have a transparent background. But if the background happens to be pure white or black, you can use blend modes to remove the background.
But I am getting ahead of my self. Lets see how you do, post your results, if necessary a screen capture of photoshop with the layers panel open.
