This chapter covers all the
options available in each category; the categories are grouped by function rather
than by order of appearance in the Category list.
General preferences
Dreamweaver??™s General preferences, shown in Figure 4-1, cover the program??™s
appearance, user operation, and fundamental file settings. The appearance of the
program??™s interface may seem to be a trivial matter, but Dreamweaver is a program
for designers and coders, to whom work environment is extremely important.
These user-operation options, described in the following sections, are based
purely on how you, the user, work best.

The first area of the General category, Document Options, determines how you work with HTML and
other files.
In choosing all the preferences, including the General ones, you can work in two ways. If you
are a seasoned Web designer, you probably want Dreamweaver to work in your established
manner to minimize the learning curve.
