WHY!?!?! Why do I have to make a CSS RULE with every Font Change

I am no major developer, but I have been using dreamweaver to build basic HTML sites for years. Just downloaded CS5 and I am ready to put my fist through the screen.
I am creating a NEW HTML document. I dont know much about CSS so I am avoiding it.
So I create a few tables, put text in the table, and go to change the attibutes like size, color, etc. Now I need to define it by making a CSS rule. Ok, perhaps I am a bit behind, but I selected a new HTML document, NOT CSS. Why do I have to define anything with CSS?
Yes, this is a basic basic thing I am trying to do. For years if I wanted to change the color, size, position, etc of some simply text in DW, it would just do it. I would never be asked to make a rule.
What is frusterating me is that I am making a rule, adjusting text, I can partially live with that. But now it is changing the attributes of text on the other wide of the page in a different table because it had similar attributes.
How do I go back to old school html, stright forward, no CSS.
thanks!

This question comes up a lot and it always interests me. If you choose a profession, why would you choose something you don't want to continue learning about? Would you be mad if your mechanic wouldn't repair your hybrid car engines because they only want to work on engines from the muscle cars of the 60s and 70s? Or would you prefer a doctor only give you penicillin for everything because they don't want to learn about the modern advances in medicine? It just doesn't make sense.
Best advise I can give you is that CSS is the way all web browsers and email clients are going whether through the use of attached style sheets with defined styles, or with inline styles for email security reasons. CSS is the styling for anything web based. Even if you are not in a CSS document, HTML pages use CSS to render styles from colors and margins to borders and backgrounds. Then if you use a rule over and over you don't have to click through this color and that size and that underline with this font. You just select a style where you want it and keep going. The learning is worth the time invested.

Need software which can send images to my editor, have them make selections, share them with me so I can edit the images and send the final results back to them. Will Lightroom work?

Need software which can send images to my editor, have them make selections, share them with me so I can edit the images and send the final results back to them. Will Lightroom work?

What I would like to do is to use Lightroom as I have been doing with LR 5.7. Tag certain images to be shared to the Creative Cloud which my editor can then see and tag as to which she would like to see final versions of. In the best case, I would then see these tags and edit the images as appropriate and save the JPEGs back to the Cloud where she can download them for final production.
Possible?

Pierre,
You may try the list and see how far down you need to go; you have probably been through 1) and 2), and 4) is both reversible and more thorough than 3); 5) is hardly relevant, so you may end up with 6).
The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
If possible/applicable, you should save current artwork first, of course.
1) Close down Illy and open again;
2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to at least 5 times);
3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
Even more seriously, you may:
6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

How to make navigation tools open with every document?

Hi -
I'm using Acrobat 8 Professional.
Every time I open a document there are no tools at all showing. The window shows the document and the title bar. But I'd like to have more than that.
I finally figured out using cmd-F to get some basic navigation tools (search, page number, I-beam, hand, etc).
I would like this assortment of tools to open with every and any document I open.
How do I accomplish this??
TIA your input.
JL

With Voice Over, you highlight whatever you are trying to select and then double tap anywhere on the screen to select.
So for your password of 1234 you have to
"Highlight 1, then double tap the screen, Highlight 2, the double tap the screen,... etc."
In order to remove you have 2 options:
Option# 1 – Turn off Voice Over
Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
Double tap screen to go into settings
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
Double tap screen to go into general
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “ACCESSIBILITY”
Double tap screen to go into accessibility
Once you are in make sure that EVERYTHING in that section are shown as “OFF”
Option #2 - Reset your Phone
Go to setting by, highlight "SETTING
Double tap screen to go into settings
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and highlight "GENERAL"
Double tap screen to go into general
Use 3 fingers to (swipe) scroll of down and then highlight “RESET”
Double tap screen to go into reset
Select “Reset all setting” and continue to follow the instruction
(When you reset, all of your data and music WILL NOT erase. So don’t worry about that)
Hope this helps.

Why does my iMac have to make such a loud noise when I turn it on?

Is there any way to turn my iMac on in a silent way?
Not that it bothers me but sometimes there are other people in the same room trying to sleep.
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Welcome to the Apple Discussions for iMac Intels.
You can install this Preference Pane and control the volume of your startup chime from the System Preferences.
Arcana Startup Sound Preference Pane
StartupSound.prefPane is the software which controls the volume of the startup sound of your Macintosh computer. StartupSound.prefPane mutes the startup sound without changing the output volume setting. And StartupSound.prefPane limits the startup volume so that it may not become loud even if you make the output volume louder. To set up the startup volume, you select the "Startup Sound" pane added to the "System Preferences."

When creating an Android app in DPS App Builder, why do I not have the option of "Multi Folio with Amazon Subscription"?

The only option available is Google Play. Why is this happening?

I found a folder with an old APK file that worked. I wish I could edit it because it has the wrong splash screen attached to it, but at least the app is working. I wish I could have the app back in app builder and be able to edit that. I understand that you all aren't going to support these Amazon Subscription apps but we have current subscribers and they may have a full year left. We are stuck with an app that we still need to use until their subscriptions are up before we can make a change to how our android user are going to receive their magazines. Adobe should allow some sort of support for this type of situation. Now I have an app with a bad splash screen that looks completely unprofessional. Is there anyway to recover the file in App Builder? Is that what you were referring to or were you just referring to the APK file? I do appreciate all your help and attention to this.

Why does Firefox now have a bar which pops up with "Allow" on it? No matter how many times I click on Allow, it just keeps coming back, stuffing some logins

I don't know enough to know why it's doing this, or what to do about it. That's why I asked the question!

There are a few different bars you could see that have an "Allow" button: page wants to redirect, pop-up window was blocked, page wants to install software... Can you be more specific about which message you're seeing?

Why do i have to re-enter my password with every purchase

And why does it not ever work with the 2nd purchase?

Hi phog,
When you're entering the password, are you being sure to check the "remember this network" checkbox that's on the box where you type your password in? If you don't, every time you reconnect to your network, you'll be asked to re-enter it. Also, is this happening only when you restart your machine or wake it from sleep, or is it happening every time you quit your browser and re-open it?
Keep at it! There's a learning curve with any new equipment, but as someone who switched from PCs myself about five years ago, I can tell you that it's worth it.
Hope that helps!

I am new to ios development and would like to know if I have to make my app compatible with iphone 4, 4S and 5 then which ios version i should choose?

I have started ios development few weeks back but I am not sure on which version of ios I should develop my apps. People are having different iphone (3g, 4, 4s, 5) and I am not sure that all of them have upgraded themselves to latest version of ios or not.
Would anyone please suggest here which verion of ios is more in use and if i develop my app on lower verion of ios then will that run on higher version or not?
Thanks.

I would target the latest version.
Adoption rate of iOS updates is high.
Since you're just beginning development, trying to support older versions of iOS adds unneeded complexity to an already difficult task.
