Nearly every
onscreen action can be replicated.
How could you use such a macro-like capability in Dreamweaver? Suppose you have a series of 10 images
on a page, and you want to give each image a vertical space of 10, a horizontal space of 8, and a 2-pixel
border. You could perform each of these actions one at a time, entering in the same border value and selecting
the center alignment button, but it would get rather tedious after the third or fourth image. With
Dreamweaver, you can easily automate the procedure by following these steps:
1. Select the first image.
2. Choose Commands ??? Start Recording or use the keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+X
(Command+Shift+X). The cursor changes to a recording tape symbol, indicating you??™re in recording
mode.
3. Enter the new values in the Property inspector.
4. Choose Commands ??? Stop or the same keyboard command again: Ctrl+Shift+X
(Command+Shift+X). The cursor changes back to its normal state.
5. Select another image.
6. Choose Commands ??? Play Recorded Command.
7. Repeat steps 5 and 6 for every image you want to change.

Customizing Dreamweaver 33
Most of the commands and onscreen moves can be replicated in this manner, but not all. The major exception
is the use of the mouse. Dreamweaver cannot repeat mouse moves and selections.
