email  Email to a Friend

These Dreamweaver 8 tutorial will demonstrate how to use Dreamweaver's property inspector to format objects selected in the Document Window. The properties inspector is commonly used to format text, image properties, tables, and more.

The Properties Inspector, located at the bottom of the Dreamweaver workspace, enables you to view the properties associated with the object or text that is currently selected in the Document Window. You can use the Properties Inspector to display and edit the properties of the object selected in the Document Window.

NOTE: By default, it opens at the bottom of the window, but it can be moved anywhere.

The Property Inspector contains two sections: The main section always opens and displays common properties that are most often changed. The second section displays properties that are not changed as frequently. Click on the lower right corner to expand the Properties Inspector.
