Dreamweaver allows you to work with your web page in several different views. This document discusses the various views and their options.
While working on a document, you have three options for viewing the page.
| Environment | Purpose | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Design | Allows you to create and edit your page in an interface similar to that of Microsoft Word. This is a WYSWYG (what you see is what you get) interface. | ![]() |
| Split | Displays both Code and Design views. | ![]() |
| Code | Allows you to add, modify, and delete the HTML code for specific or advanced web page design. | ![]() |
When editing your web page, you may find it useful to alternate between different environments depending on what you want to accomplish.

NOTE: An asterisk (*) in the tab indicates that changes have been made to the web page since it was last saved.

Select the tab containing the file name of the web page you wish to work with
