Editing CSS Styles and Stylesheets
Because stylesheets are merely collections of styles, editing a stylesheet means to add, remove, or edit the styles within it. Perform these operations in the Edit Style Sheet dialog box (see Figure 10-2).
Here are several ways to open the Edit Style Sheet dialog box:

Use Text → CSS Styles → Edit Style Sheet, Ctrl+Shift+E (Windows), or Cmd+Shift+E (Macintosh).
Select CSS Styles → Edit Style Sheet from the contextual menu in the Document window.
Click the CSS Styles icon in the Head Content bar to open the Property inspector, and click the Edit Style Sheet button in the Property inspector.
The Edit Style Sheet dialog box shows both embedded styles and external stylesheets.

placeholder icon is visible only if the Edit → Preferences
→ Invisible Elements → Embedded Styles and View →
Visual Aids → Invisible Elements options are enabled.)
