  • Double click dreamweaver icon.
  • In the Dreamweaver or site window, go to Help menu and choose Dreamweaver Help Pages.

    Notice: The Dreamweaver application folder for Tutorial is on TIO's pc:
    'C:\Program Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 2\'
    .

Updating an existing page.

• Dreamweaver works with a site window and up to several html page windows
• In the Site window open site nttweb and/or browse to find the page that you want modify and open it with a double-click.(you cannot find it chaining hyperlinks like in netscape, therefore you must know its full file name and path).
• Make your changes in the Dreamweaver window . Once the changes are done save the page by choosing File > Save.Be aware that some part of the pages are protected because they are ruled by a so called template: a bell is rang whenever you try to modify such areas..

Creating a new page

• Select a file in the directory where you want to create the new page.
• Click File > New File, this will create a new file called untiltled.htm
• Click File > Rename and rename it : answer don't scan to the question:
  Scan site for links to renamed file? .
• Open it by a double-click.
• Then apply the Template by choosing Window > Templates from Dreamweaver window, select by a single-click the correct Template, NTT-Template for the public pages or OPS-Template for the Operations pages, and then click the 'Apply To Page' button.
• Once you have finished creating the page, save it, by choosing File > Save.

Changing the Template.

• Open the Template from the Dreamweaver window: choose File > Open and browse to find the directory D:\NTT Website\Templates, choose Template Files from the Files of type box and then select one.
  From the Site window: browse to find the Templates directory under D:\NTT Website, then open a Template.
• Modify, all you want and save. Dreamweaver will ask you to update all pages where the Template was applied.
  If you respond yes, Dreamweaver shows you the progress of the updating.
• When the program ends updating, you have to copy all pages to epu, as follows:
  
  • If the Operations Template was modified, select the nttoperations directory in the Site window and click the 'Put' button.
  • If the Public Pages Template was modified, select the root folder (i.e. D:\NTT Website) and click the 'Put' button.

Changing the Styles.

• All pages are linked to a cascading styles sheet file; to modify a stylesheet you can open any page:
• In the Dreamweaver window choose Window > Styles.
• Click 'Style Sheet ...' button.
• Select the 'styles.css' file and then make the modifications and save.
• Now, in the Site window, browse to Templates directory, select the styles.css file and click the 'Put' button.
