[WEB4LIB] Dreamweaver's code view (was RE: HTML Referring?)

[Joyce Wong]

Hi Vicki

In MX, the F10 shortcut takes you the code inspector only.  To work in code
while viewing the WSIWYG, you need to use the Code and Design view (under View
then Code and Design).  I was doing the F10 shortcut and having the same
pasting problems until I realize F10 does not have quite the same function as
it did in Dreamweaver 4.

Hope that helps
Joyce
