Previewing the Page in the Browser

In most applications, to open a new document, you click an icon. There isn't much to think about. In Dreamweaver, it isn't quite as simple as that because of the sheer number of document types that the software allows you to create. The last thing you want to do is wade through dozens of options when you're eager to open up a new web page and start building.

This chapter gives you a straight course through the wilds of the New Document dialog box and shows you how to set the basic properties of your newly minted web page.
