Viewing the Document Window

Dreamweaver’s primary work area is the Document window. When you first create a new page in

Dreamweaver, you see what is essentially an empty canvas surrounded by tool panels and toolbars.

This canvas is where you create your Web pages by typing headlines and paragraphs; inserting

images and links; and creating tables, forms, and other HTML elements.

You can open more than one document at once in Dreamweaver, and all of your documents are

viewed within the same window. If the documents are not maximized, you can see more than one

document at once using the various window manipulation commands on the Window menu. If

you want to separate documents, choose Window ➪ Cascade, Window ➪ Arrange Horizontally, or

Window ➪ Arrange Vertically (Window ➪ Cascade and Window ➪ Tile on the Mac). This adds a

great deal of flexibility because you can have multiple documents open in tabs in multiple document

windows.
