Use the Style Definition for Block panel to define spacing and alignment settings for styles. See also Style sheets overview and Editing a style.

To open the Style Definition dialog box, Choose Window > Styles and click Edit Style Sheet. In the dialog box that appears, choose a style and click Edit. Click the panel names on the left side of the dialog box. Leave any of the following attributes empty if they are not important to the style:

Word Spacing adds extra space between words. Word spacing may be affected by justification. You can specify negative values, but the display depends upon the browser. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.

Letter Spacing adds extra space between characters. You can specify negative values, but display depends upon the browser. Letter spacing will override any extra space between letters caused by justification. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.

Vertical Alignment specifies the vertical alignment of the element, often in relation to its parent. Dreamweaver displays this attribute in the Document window only when the tag is applied to the IMG tag.

Text Align determines how text is aligned within the element.

Text Indent specifies the how far the first line is indented. A negative value may be used to create an outdent, but the display depends upon the browser. Dreamweaver displays this attribute in the Document window only when the tag is applied to block-level elements.

Whitespace determines how whitespace within the element is handled. Choose from three options: Normal collapses whitespace; Pre handles it as if the text were enclosed in PRE tags (that is, all whitespace, including spaces, tabs, and returns, is respected); Nowrap specifies that the text only wraps when a BR tag is encountered. Dreamweaver does not display this attribute in the Document window.
