Dreamweaver 2 for Windows and Macintosh assists beginning Web page designers with quickly and successfully creating their first sites. Author J. Tarin Towers commences her discussion of Dreamweaver 2 by showing you how to navigate and customize the software's interface. She follows by demonstrating how you can quickly use the software to create basic Web pages.
You build on the basics by learning Dreamweaver's features for creating text, manipulating paragraphs, creating a good layout, working with images, adding links, and using tables and frames. Trickier tasks include creating forms, working with Style Sheets, creating and managing layers, adding and modifying behaviors, and drawing timelines.
Towers also teaches you how to work with libraries and templates, use plug-ins and active content, and set up and manage your site. Throughout Dreamweaver 2 for Windows and Macintosh, you'll get the benefit of large screen shots along with tasks involving clear steps, usage tips and shortcuts, and alternative approaches to using the most common features. --Kathleen Caster
