CSS Subtab

When you are editing a document in the Author mode, you can switch between these CSS files from the Styles drop-down menu on the Author Styles toolbar.

To open the CSS subtab, open the Preferences dialog box (Options > Preferences), go to Document Type Association, use the New, Edit, Duplicate, or Extend button, click on the Author tab, and then the CSS subtab.

The following actions are available in the CSS subtab:

Insert Editor Variables button, or the browsing actions in the

Browse drop-down list.
