How to Make Edits in Dreamweaver
Adobe Dreamweaver lets you make major or minor changes to your website. You'll find several tools that allow you to create, edit and format Web files. The Property inspector gives you quick access to formatting options, links and page properties and displays in the bottom pane. Since Dreamweaver is a what-you-see-is-what-you-get (WYSIWYG) application, you can view your design as you move content around and add or remove images, text, links and other elements.
