This section provides a brief overview of the menus in Dreamweaver.
The File menu and Edit menu contain the standard menu items for File and Edit menus, such as New, Open, Save, Save All, Cut, Copy, Paste, Undo, and Redo. The File menu also contains various other commands for viewing or acting on the current document, such as Preview in Browser and Print Code. The Edit menu includes selection and searching commands, such as Select Parent Tag and Find and Replace. In Windows, the Edit menu also provides access to Preferences; on the Macintosh, use the Dreamweaver menu to open the Preferences dialog box.
The View menu allows you to see various views of your document (such as Design view and Code view) and to show and hide various kinds of page elements and Dreamweaver tools and toolbars.
The Insert menu provides an alternative to the Insert bar for inserting objects into your document.
The Modify menu allows you to change properties of the selected page element or item. Using this menu, you can edit tag attributes, change tables and table elements, and perform various actions for library items and templates.
The Text menu allows you to easily format text.
The Commands menu provides access to a variety of commands, including one to format code according to your formatting preferences, one to create a photo album, and one to optimize an image using Macromedia Fireworks.
The Site menu provides menu items to manage sites and upload and download files.
Tip: Some of the capabilities that were in the Site menu in previous versions of Dreamweaver can now be found in the Options menu of the Files panel.
The Window menu provides access to all of the panels, inspectors, and windows in Dreamweaver. (For toolbars, see the View menu.)
The Help menu provides access to Dreamweaver documentation, including help systems for using Dreamweaver and creating extensions to Dreamweaver, and reference material for a variety of languages.
In addition to the menu-bar menus, Dreamweaver provides many context menus, which give you easy access to useful commands pertaining to the current selection or area. To display a context menu, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) an item in a window.
