Insert text
Now youll add some text to the page. You can type text directly in the Dreamweaver Document window, or you can copy and paste text from other sources (such as Microsoft Word or plain text files). Later, youll use Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) to format the text.

Previewyourpageinabrowser
The Design view gives you a rough idea of what your page will look like on the web, but you must preview the page in a browser to see the definitive end result. Though browsers in general produce the same results, each browser version can display HTML pages somewhat differently. Dreamweaver attempts to produce HTML that will look as similar as possible from one browser to another; but sometimes differences cant be avoided. Thus, previewing your work in a browser is the only way for you to see what your site visitors will see after you publish your pages.
