Resizing an AP element
To resize an AP element, position the pointer over one of the eight resize handles surrounding the selected
AP element. When over the handles, the pointer changes shape to a two- or four-headed arrow. Now click
and drag the AP element to a new size and shape.
You can also use the arrow keys to resize your AP element with more precision. The following keyboard
shortcuts change the width and height dimensions while the AP element remains anchored by the upperleft
corner:
n When the AP element is selected, press Ctrl+arrow (Command+arrow) to expand or contract the
AP element by 1 pixel.
n Press Ctrl+Shift+arrow (Command+Shift+arrow) to increase or decrease the selected AP element
by 10 pixels.
You can quickly preview the position of an AP element on a Web page without leaving
Dreamweaver. Deselecting the View ??? Visual Aids ??? AP Element Borders option leaves the AP
element outline displayed only when the AP element is selected; otherwise, it is not shown.
Moving an AP element
The easiest way to reposition an AP element is to drag the selection handle.
