hello well you can do it simply by using css ( cascading style sheets) in dreamweaver and it really is quite simple

[getalife]

open the page you have where you want to put the css and then do exactly as i have putted the css the only thing you have to do is to put the css file and the page you want the css applied with the import method as show in the page i showed you
