Dreamweaver Tips

In its default settings, Dreamweaver will not allow you to put several blank spaces in a row when editing text in your web page.
In order to correct this situation and make your page update as easy as in a word processor you need to modify your Dreamweaver software preferences.

To do so, from the Dreamweaver main menu (top):
Click on Edit then select Preferences
A new window opens. Make sure the "General" option is selected in the "Category" column on the left.
In the General tab on the right hand-side, locate the check box with a label "Allow consecutive multiple spaces" and make sure it is checked.
Click "Ok" at the bottom of the window. You are done.

You can now edit your web pages text and insert as many consecutive blank spaces as you want.

The other alternative would be pressing at the same time: Shift+Ctrl+Space Bar (PC) or Shift+Apple+Space Bar (Mac).

In general, you will always find at least 2 ways to perform a given task in Dreamweaver.
Talk about being user-friendly!
