Laying the Groundwork in Dreamweaver CS4

You can change your current screen size to any of six standard sizes—or add your own custom sizes—with
the Window Size pop-up menu.
The first option, 592w, is the only option that does not change the height as well as the width.
Instead, this option uses the current window height and alters only the width.
You can set up your own custom screen settings by choosing Edit Sizes from the Window
Size pop-up menu. This option opens the Status Bar category of the Preferences dialog
box. Chapter 4 describes how to modify the pop-up list.
The dimensions offered by the Window Size pop-up menu describe the entire editable area of a
page. The Document window has been carefully designed to match specifications set by the primary
browsers. Both the left and right margins are the same width as both the Netscape and Microsoft
browsers, and the status bar matches the height of the browser’s bottom row as well. The height of
any given browser environment depends on which toolbars are being used; however, Dreamweaver’s
menu bar is the same height as the browsers’ menu bars.
