On Dreamweaver CC how do I get to the css rule definition box?

On the other Dreamweavers when I wanted to edit a css, I selected the css and clicked on the pencil icon to open the css rule definition box.
The only way I find to get acess to the css rule definition box on the new CC is when I am creating a new div and then there is a option for a new style and it opens the box.
My question is how do I get to the box once the rule is created? the pencil icon is not there anymore.
Not good breaking workflows Adobe, some folks have work in progress...
Please help, thanks.

I can't remember the last time I used DW's CSS panels. If you know CSS, why not use code view? DW's Code Hinting is very good & it's much quicker to edit code directly in the style sheet than it is in CSS panels.

That depends a bit on the situation. For example, in Netbeans I use the live connection with Chrome (embedded view or not) and I can then select an item in the live view in Chrome, which opens the css properties panes. These are quite similar to DW.
By changing the values in the css properties pane the changes in values are automatically saved in the css file, and visually updated in realtime in Chrome.
It can be very handy to quickly change the position or margin/padding/size of an element this way without having to switch back and forth to your css. Bit similar to the inspect element pane in FF and Chrome, and the changes are immediately saved.
When I still used DW I used it in the same manner for quick visual changes - and no reason to rummage through my css code.
In short, those css inspector panes can work quite efficiently when you need to polish the css code.
Granted, I would never use it while working on the main css code - but for slight and quick changes it can be a very handy feature.

How do I turn-off the CSS rule dialog?

I would like to know how to turn-off the CSS rule dialog.
I support a user who has been using DreamWeaver for years and was recently forced to upgrade to the new version. None of the hundreds of files in the site he maintains use CSS. While I recognize it is a "better" and "more efficient" way to do things --- IF you're a sofware engineer -- it is not even close to being worth the cost to revise the entire site and retrain this user.
So, how can i turn off, not just the pop-up, but how I can tell DW to just go ahead and do it the old-fashioned, embedded in the HTML way of doing things?
All the user wants to do is change the color of some keywords, css is overkill when that's all he's doing.
We'd go back to the previous version except the office was forced onto Vista and the older version won't run.

ADDING FONT TAGS:
By David Powers from the help doc:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7ce ba.html
You won't see anywhere to enter such information in the HTML Property inspector. Dreamweaver CS4 does not support tags, except in Code view. The W3C deprecated tags ten years ago, so CS4 decided to get rid of them from the main user interface.
If you want to add styles to a short selection of text, you have two options:
1. Create embedded styles in the <head> of the page.
2. Create inline styles.
Both are done using the Property inspector in CSS mode (click the CSS button on the left). Select the text you want to style. How and where the style is created depends on what you select in the Targeted Rule field.
If you select <New CSS Rule>, you can then select the font, size, or colour in the Property inspector. As soon as you choose one of these, you will be prompted to choose a class name, and the location of the new style. To embed the style in the <head> of the page, select "This document only".
The name of the class will appear in the Targeted Rule field, and you can add other values to it.
If you select <New Inline Style> in the Targeted Rule field, you can apply any of the properties in the Property inspector. This wraps your text selection with a tag that contains the CSS properties as an inline style, e.g., Styled text.

Note: If you select text in Code view, you can apply font tags by selecting Format > Font from the main menu. This works only in Code view; selecting Format > Font in Design view launches the New CSS Rule dialog box.

How can I view/edit the CSS rules that apply to an Order Registration Layout ?

*Note: I am new to web design and I did not create the site that I am working on. I am also very VERY clumsy with CSS at the moment *
I have just begun using Dreamweaver to work on a Business Catalyst site. I am attempting to edit the CSS of the layout for the Order Registration Form. The CSS is applied from the site-wide template that is assigned to the Order Registration Layout. When viewing the layout in Dreamweaver, it does not display any CSS info for the page. However, when viewing the live page for the Order Registration, it is clear that CSS is adversely affecting the layout.
Is there a way to link the css rules from the site-wide template to the Order Registration Layout? Or should I just add a new CSS rule directly to the Order Registration Layout (possibly overriding the site-wide template's CSS)?
Thanks!

I've used Firebug as well as the Webkit developer tools in Chrome and Safari which have surpassed Firebug in my opinion. But they all suffer from the fact that the changes you make in them have to later be applied to your code which means you have to take the extra steps of trying to remember what all changes you made in Firebug and copying and pasting them back into your files. Whereas in Dreamweaver you can Inspect, make changes directly to the code in your file, and you're done. Not happy with the last few changes? Undo. Want to start completely over? File > Revert.
Dreamweaver has excellent tools for determining what css is being applied to an element and by what means. And it's a more streamlined and direct workflow where you work directly in your code. I still use Firebug and the others from time to time though. But only for very basic "spur of the moment" testing. And usually only when I don't have immediate access to the raw files.

How do I get to the 'Print Mode Choice Box' in the Apple provided software for a Canon Pixma IP6210D Series printer?

I downloaded the Apple software for my Pixma, IP6210D series printer. There is no 'Color Matching', option or 'print options', pop up menu available. According to the instructional book that came with the printer - the Mac how-to section those options should be available.
In the 'Page Setup', dialog box the 'OK' button is not listed. The two choices are cancel and print.
How on earth do I get to the 'Print Options', box?
Thank you for your help.

Sounds like you have the print dialog minimised, as shown.
If you click the triangle next to the printer name, this will expand the print dialog and from this view you can see all the menu options as mentioned in the guide.

How can I get just the text to resize, rather than the entire web page?

I used to be able to re-size just text on a webpage by typing Ctrl + +. Today, the entire webpage re-sizes, and when I move to another page it reverts. (I see this mostly in Facebook.). Why did this change, and can I go back to having just the text re-size?

How do I get more effects in my action box? I am only showing a few, like "Bottom Borders, Losing Weight, Resize and Crop, and Special Effects. And they do not list but a few effects. When I have watched the tutorials, they are showing a long list of effects in the action box. (with a side space bar) I do not. When I have clicked on the little arrow at top, and clicked "Load Actions", a box comes up, but it is blank,saying "no items match your search". I'm lost! If someone could help, it would be much appreciated! I would like to start using this.
Thank you.

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login.

I spilled water on my laptop and my "i", "j" and "k" letters don't work on my laptop. However my main problem is that my password contains an "i" so i am locked out of my computer. Any ideas how I can get around the password and login. I tried the method where you go into single user mode and type in commands, however that method uses some of the letters that are not working on my laptop.

You didn't mention which version of OS X your running but there are password reset utilities provided OS X: Changing or resetting an account password (Snow Leopard and earlier) - Apple Support or OS X: Changing or resetting an account password - Apple Support
Alternately you can use an external keyboard to log in and change the password. Make a backup if you don't have one, it's likely that your problems aren't over. If that water continues to migrate downward and fries the logic board your macbook will be toast.

When creating a book how can I get all the photos from an album to show up in the order they were in the album?

When creating a book in iphoto, how can I get all the photos from the album I want to use to show up in the order that they are in the album? When I tried to use the option to add my own photos instead of having the program "flow" them, they showed up all mixed up.

iPhoto puts them in the book in chronological order. So to get your photos from an album into an iPhoto book in the same order you will need to use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option and set them all to the same date with a 1 minute time difference between each.

You need to transfer your domain.sites file from your MacBook to your iMac. This is the file where iWeb stores all info and can be found under User/Library/Application Support/iWeb/domain.sites.
Transfer this file from your MacBook to the same place on your iMac and double click the domain.sites file and iWeb will open it on your iMac and you can update your site from there too.

You're welcome.
All photos transferred from your computer are stored in the iPhone's Photo Library regardless if you select a single album or folder of photos to be transferred or multiple albums or folders. The photos on the albums or folders of photos include a pointer to the original photos stored in the Photo Library. The photos are not duplicated taking up double the storage space. This way you can view the photos in an album or folder of photos only by selecting the album or folder, or all photos in all albums or folders by selecting Photo Library.
Makes more sense when transferring multiple albums or folders of photos which cannot be changed when transferring only a single album or folder of photos.
The same applies with iTunes and music playlists. A song can't be in a playlist unless it is in the main iTunes library. Placing a song in a playlist does not duplicate the song.

How do I get all the music on my IMAC in one folder. We have one IMAC and 3 sign ons. When add a song under one sign on it doesn't add to all 3 libraries.

How do I get all the music on my IMAC in one ITUNES folder? We have one IMAC, with 3 sign ons for me and my 2 teens. When you add a song under one of the sign ons it doesn't add it to all 3 libraries. Before I updated to LION, We had one main library with all the songs we bought, imported from cd's etc. Then any of the three of us could add it to our own IPOD instead of buying the song agin. It is one house, one IMAC. It was working fine under Leopard.

The sort fields should generally be empty unless you've putting in custom values to sort solo artists by their surnames. You can apply common changes to thousands of tracks at once, just don't apply the wrong change because there is no undo.
It is a good idea to backup before undertaking large scale changes. See this backup tip for a suggested approach.

How can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match

how can I get only the music I want onto my iPhone using iTunes Match? At present it is putting a random selection on; it has none of the same control as iTunes on my Mac. And although I uploaded all my album artwork to iCloud, it is not transferring it back to my iPhone

Iphone are meant to be sync to one itunes library only.
You can copy those songs to a cd and then put a copy to your itunes media library.
