Text
As you work with Dreamweaver MX 2004, you'll notice it is similar in many ways to
the programs you may have worked with in the past, such as Microsoft Word. There
are many options and features that indeed work in very similar ways to these other
programs. Some of these most basic features are working with text, and formatting
that text.
To begin adding text to your web page in Dreamweaver MX 2004, use your cursor to
click anywhere on the page and type directly onto the document.
Properties
The Properties panel (not to be confused with the Page Properties window, discussed
in the previous section) can be found going across the bottom of the screen. To
access more options, click on the small triangle next to the word “Properties.” This
will expand the window.
If you do not see the Properties window, go the menu bar, go to “Window” and select
“Properties.”
The Properties Window
Editing text with Macromedia Dreamweaver MX 2004 is not very different from
editing with a word processor. The only difference is that in Dreamweaver MX 2004,
text format and other properties are not controlled in the main menu at the top of
the screen, but in a window (or "palette") called "Properties."
The Properties panel (not to be confused with the Page Properties window, discussed
in the previous section) can be found going across the bottom of the screen. To
access more options, click on the small white triangle next to the word “Properties.”
This will expand the window.
You will use the Properties window to format and edit most of your content on your
web page. Please note that the Properties palette does change appearance
depending on what sort of content you are working with. For example, editing text
makes the Properties palette appear one way, while editing a table makes the palette
appear in a different way. We'll get back to the different states of the Properties
palette when we talk about tables in the next section.
Right now, let's take a look at the different features of the Properties palette. The
numbered list below corresponds with the numbers on the image of the Properties
palette. Use this image to aid you in learning the different features of the palette.
