Dreamweaver :: Editing  

Editing Basics

  • Insert an item at the current cursor location by clicking on an object in the Object Pallette.
  • Insert an item anywhere in the document by dragging and dropping from the Object Pallette to the desired location in the document.
  • Insert an item by writing the HTML code (or simply pasting it) in the HTML Inspector.
  • Edit the properties of an object (i.e., any page element such as a table, an image, a link, selected text, etc.) by clicking on it and modifying the parameters in the Property Inspector.
  • Edit a selection by clicking on its tag from the list of nested tags (on the bottom toolbar in the Document Window) and changing its properties in the Property Inspector.
  • Tight synchronization between the Document Window and the HTML Inspector. Changes in the Document window are immediately reflected in changes in the HTML and vice versa.

Editing Text

  • Format text using the Property Inspector. Select the text to edit (by clicking and dragging) and change the attibutes in the Property Inspector to change the format of the selected text.

  • Bulletted or numbered lists. To make a bulletted or numbered list, select the text and choose Unordered List or Ordered List in the Property Inspector.
      • To further indent a list item, select the list item and click Text Indent on the Property Inspector.

More about Links

  • To create a link, select the text, then in the Property Inspector enter the URL in the Link field or browse for the file in the Property Inspector.
  • To edit an existing link, click anywhere on the link text and modify (or erase) the URL entered in the Link field of the Property Inspector.
  • Use the Target option when you are working with frames or you want to spawn a new window.
  • Create a named anchor within a document to link to that specific portion of the document. Create a link to that anchor using # then the anchor name.
  • Images can be links as well.
