In All mode, the CSS Styles panel displays two panes: an All Rules pane 

(on top), and a Properties pane (on bottom). The All Rules pane displays a 

list of rules defined in the current document as well as all rules defined in 

style sheets attached to the current document. The Properties pane lets you 

edit CSS properties for any selected rule in the All Rules pane.

Any changes you make in the Properties pane are applied immediately, 

letting you preview your work as you go.

For more information about the CSS Styles panel, see  About the CSS 

Styles panel  in Using Dreamweaver.
