The Dreamweaver interface is more approachable to help you improve your productivity and quality of work.
Insert bar improvements give the Insert bar a new streamlined look, which takes up less space in the workspace. There's also a new Favorites category, which you can use to customize an Insert bar with the objects you use most often. For more information, see The Insert bar.
Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel copy and paste commands enable you to copy and paste a Microsoft Word or Excel document directly into Dreamweaver. When you paste a Word or Excel document, Dreamweaver preserves formatting and generates quality HTML. For more information, see Copying and pasting text from MS Office documents.
Table editing visual feedback enables you to see the effects column resize operations will have on your tables. Visual feedback also makes it easier for you to select table elements.
