Tutorial overview

The Dreamweaver tutorial walks you through the steps of building Web pages. You'll learn how to use Macromedia Dreamweaver to define a local site, and you'll use Dreamweaver's panels and tools to create and edit Web documents.

In this tutorial, you'll create Web pages for Compass, a fictitious company that specializes in adventure travel. If you're new to Dreamweaver, start at the beginning of the tutorial and work your way through the end. If you're already familiar with Dreamweaver, you may want to start at Use the Assets panel; this section and those that follow it focus on new or changed features in Dreamweaver such as the Assets panel, Flash buttons and text, using a template, running a site report and adding a Design Note.

The tutorial takes approximately one to two hours to complete, depending on your experience, and focuses on the following Dreamweaver tasks:

	Defining a local site
	Creating a page in Layout view
	Inserting an image and a rollover image
	Working with tables in Standard view
	Creating a link to another document
	Inserting assets from the Assets panel
	Inserting Flash Text and Flash Button objects
	Creating and applying a template
	Running a site report
	Adding a Design Note

If you don't have a printed version of Using Dreamweaver, you may find it easier to follow the tutorial if you print the pages from your browser. You can also download a printable version from the Macromedia Web site.

Note: This tutorial demonstrates some features that are supported only in 4.0 or later browsers.
