In Windows, the first time you start Dreamweaver, a dialog box appears that lets you choose a workspace layout. If you change your mind later, you can switch to a different workspace using the Preferences dialog box.
Designer workspace is an integrated workspace using MDI (Multiple Document Interface), in which all Document windows and panels are integrated into one larger application window, with the panel groups docked on the right. This layout is recommended for most users.
Note: Most of this guide assumes that you're using the Designer workspace.
Coder workspace is the same integrated workspace, but the panel groups are docked on the left, in a layout similar to that used by Macromedia HomeSite and Macromedia ColdFusion Studio, and the Document window shows Code view by default. This layout is recommended for HomeSite or ColdFusion Studio users and other hand-coders who want a familiar workspace layout.
Note: You can dock panel groups on either side of the workspace in either layout.
