Are you using an external stylesheet as opposed to inline styles or styles in each page head (external is best)?
I wouldn't trust any WYSIWYG editor's preview - I'd suggest always a proper browser to check stuff.

I kind of understand what you mean. I created a stylesheet in dreamweaver and was told to create a folder called css and put all the css styles in there.

Dominic - I'm not sure where you're learning your CSS from, but some sources are better than others.
I thought I'd pass this tutorial site on : http://www.cssbasics.com/ as it's very simple and easy to follow.
My opinion is that it's best to start out as manual as possible when trying to get to grips with this - WYSIWYGs have a habit of stuffing things in to stylesheets and markup that you weren't aware of which can end up being confusing.
