WebEx Operations in Dreamweaver
These are some of the Dreamweaver features you may want to use on your web pages.

• Save all files e.g. webpage, images, etc. in M:\Home

• Home page name – home.html. Your URL for your home page is oz.plymouth.edu/~your-login-name
• File names – case sensitive, no blanks or special characters (*, #, etc.)
• Setup Table for organization – row, columns, 100% width, merge and split cells, set border width ,
CellPad, CellSpace . You may place a table within a cell for more organization. This better than splitting
cells.
• Insert text – Select font, size, bold, italic, color
• Be aware of contrast of text on background. This includes link text color and visited links which can be
changed from the page properties panel.
• Align object in cell; select the cell, not the object, then select – Horiz or Vert and the desired option
• Link to – existing WWW pages by using the URL or to pages on your web site by browsing to them in
Home. Don’t try to put everything on one page. Organize on separate pages by subject or specific areas
of interest to avoid cluttering and a confusing home page. Remember the “above the fold” advice.
• Link from -- live (typed) text, image (e.g. button images – search Google images for buttons), image
map, jump menu (Insert -> Form -> Jump Menu).
• Jump Menu – provides a series of links from a menu bar
• Anchors – links to specific place on current page, or another page at a specified place on hat page
• Images – Edit/Resize/crop before inserting; use image maps to link from specific “hot-spot” on image.
• Color design – text, links, cell, page, background images; see “page properties” panel in Dreamweaver.
• Embed sound (plugin), flv movie converted from wmv of Movie Maker (use Flash Movie, not Plugin for
flv file, Youtube movie (copy and paste code).
• Embed (plugin) swf movie from Flash.

There are many tutorials on the web. For example, if you are having difficulty with image maps go to Google
and search for

Dreamweaver CS6 “image maps”

You will get several to select from. Perhaps bookmark any page that you find useful. Be sure to use the words
“Dreamweaver CS5” before your tutorial keyword so that you get the appropriate application and version.

Also see the Power Point presentation Intro to Dreamweaver for introductory information.
