Hi Victoria.

You should be able to just select one word using the mouse or keyboard. Once your word is selected, choose the style you would like to apply from your Properties panel, or from the CSS Styles tab.

If Dreamweaver is still applying to the whole paragraph, you may not be selecting the word properly, or you may have an option set in your preferences that is making this happen.

You can edit the code (go to View -> Code), find you word and wrap this code around the word:

This is the paragraph and <span class="yourClass">YourWord</span> is now in your style.

Hope this helps.

Regards, Rich

I agree with the above. A simple Class style could be applied to just the selected text. The Class style would then override the Tag style.

Dreamweaver tip:

JumpMenu in new window

When inserting a jumpmenu to a page, the only option available for 'open in' is usually 'main window'. There would be other options available if the page was a frameset.

To change the jumpmenu to open in a new window, change the target parameter of the selectbox in your code to 'window.open()'.

eg.
<select name="menu1" onChange="MM_jumpMenu('window.open()',this,0)">
