After clicking on Edit HTML, all Dynamic Items will be listed in the pane on the right side of the dialog and the underlying HTML code on the left side of the screen. Click on the Dynamic Item to edit, then click on Edit or Format in the lower right hand corner.

The Edit option allows you to change the Name, Data Table, Formatting (of numeric values), Value (expression used), Actions or Tooltip values. The Format option allows you to change the font size, type, add Bold or Italics, and change the size of the entire Control.
