level II how to

The Dreamweaver work area accommodates different styles of working and levels of expertise.  Here are some of the most commonly used components:

• The "Document" window (see Figure 10a.) displays the current document as you create and edit it.
• The "Launcher" bar (see Figure 10e.)at the bottom right of the Document window contains buttons for opening and closing your most frequently used inspectors and panels.  The icons on the Launcher bar also appear on the Launcher, a floating panel that you can choose from the Windows menu.  You can specify which icons appear in the Launcher bar and Launcher by setting Panels preferences.
• The toolbar contains buttons and pop-up menus that let you view the Document window in different ways, set view options, and access some common operations, for example, previewing in a browser.
• Context menues let you quickly access useful commands pertaining to the current selection or area. To display a context menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) an item in a window.
• The "Objects" panel contains buttons for creating and inserting various types of objects, such as images, tables, layers, and frames.  You can also switch between "Standard" and "Layout" view and access the Layout view drawing tools.
• The Property inspector (see Figure 10d.) displays properties for the selected object or text, and lets you modify those properties. (Which properties appear in the inspector depend on the object or text selected.)
• Dreamweaver provides many other inspectors, panels, and windows not shown here, such as the "History" panel and the "Code" inspector. Many of these items can be "docked"—that is, you can combine windows, inspectors, and panels into tabbed windows.
• The Launcher bar contains buttons for opening and closing various panels, windows, and inspectors. You can also display the Launcher, a floating panel with identical buttons.
• The site map (see Figure 10c.). Use the site map to view a local site as a visual map of linked icons, to add new files to a site, or to add, modify, or remove links. The site map is ideal for laying out a site structure. You can quickly set up the entire structure of the site and then create a graphic image of the site map.
