By and large, the editing features of Dreamweaver are similar to other modern word processing programs??”
with one or two Web-oriented twists. Like other programs, Dreamweaver has Cut, Copy, and Paste options,
as well as Undo and Redo commands.
The twists come from the relationship between the Design and Code views of the Document window, which
give Dreamweaver special functionality for copying and pasting text and code. You learn how that works in

Designing and Crafting Core Pages Part II
Inserting text
You??™ve already seen how you can position the cursor on the page and directly enter text. In this sense,
Dreamweaver acts like a word processing program rather than a page layout program. On a blank page, the
cursor starts at the top-left corner of the page. Words automatically wrap to the next line when the text
exceeds the right margin. Press Enter (Return) to end the current paragraph and start the next one.
In previous versions of Dreamweaver, when you create a paragraph formatted as a heading and then press
Enter (Return), the new paragraph is also formatted as a heading. Now you can control this behavior. If you
select Edit ??? Preferences, click the General category, and then select the Switch To Plain Paragraph After
Heading option, pressing Enter (Return) after a heading creates a plain paragraph.
