Is there a way to tell the properties window to include standard styles and
not just the ones from the .css file?

It is very irritating and inconsistant.

If I go to the code view and start typing "class=", it will give me a list
from my .css file of classes. If I type "style=", it will give me the
standard styles (asimuth, background...vertical-align).

But if I go to the design view and want a style - there is no way to add it
(that I can find) without going to code view and adding it. In the design
view, it takes the style and actually knows to use the class attribute and
not the style attribute.

Thanks,

Tom
