Here’s cool trick that should help save you some time in Dreamweaver:

1. In the Files Panel, use: right-click > New File to create a new document
2. By default, you’ll get an HTML file named something like "untitled.html", and you’ll automatically be in Rename file mode.
3. Change the file extension so it’s "untitled.css", and hit Enter to accept the new file name.
4. Open the file and you’ll see that DW changed the contents so it’s the default CSS (not HTML) file!

So there’s no need to use the New Document dialog when you want to create a new document other than the default.

Note that this only works from the initial Rename mode. Also, this is not new for CS5, but I just re-remembered it today, so I thought I’d share.
