Use the Status Bar category to evaluate your real-world download times
and control the size of your Document window.
To enter a new set of dimensions in the Window Sizes list box, follow these steps:
1. From the Status Bar category of the Preferences dialog box, locate the last entry in the cur-
rent list. If the last entry is not immediately available, use the vertical scroll bar to move to
the end.
2. Click once in the Width column on the line below the last entry.
3. Enter the desired width of the new window size in pixels.
4. Press Tab to move to the Height column.
5. Enter the desired height for the new window size.
6. Press Tab again.
7. Optionally, you can enter short, descriptive text in the Description column, and then press
Tab when you’re finished.
8. To continue adding new sizes, repeat steps 2 through 6. Click OK when you finish.
You don’t have to enter the word pixels or the abbreviation px after your values in the
Width and Height columns of the Window Sizes list box, but you can. If you enter any
dimensions under 20, Dreamweaver converts the measurement to its smallest possible window size,
20 pixels.
