Hi Jennifer, Moving your style declarations to the body will work in more clients than keeping it in the head.
However, there are several clients (Gmail for one) which will also strip the HTML of anything in between the <style></style> tags. I'd recommend declaring all of your styles inline to try and increase compatibility. You may want to have a look at Alex Dunae's premailer, which will take your final HTML document and return the same document with the CSS converted to inline declarations. It's located at http://code.dunae.ca/premailer.web/ Regarding authoring in Dreamweaver, I'm guessing that DW expects the style declarations to be within the head of the document, hence it is not applying them in the visual editor. So, if you move your declarations back to the head for design, and then run the HTML through the pre-mailer script above, all should be fine!
