One of the most used features for testing your sites is the Preview In Browser feature in Dreamweaver. This is one of the most used keys (F12) on my keyboard when working in Dreamweaver. It lets you see what your site will look like in a particular internet browser

To get a single line space in Dreamweaver, hold down the Shift key and click Return.
That's it:)
You can also use the
or preformatted option. To do this go up to the Properties Inspector and under Format, choose Preformatted from the drop down options. This will let you type out text as if you were in a normal word processor.

This new feature alone is worth the price of the upgrade to version 4! This is by far the coolest way to create tables ever because it lets you create tables from a visual point of view.
I'm going to begin with a Tracing Image I created. This will show you first hand the benefit of this new feature. I created the comp in Fireworks and exported it as a .png to use as a Tracing Image. To keep file sizes down for this tutorial, the tracing image has been scaled down and therefore is not to size.

Dreamweaver's Tracing Image feature is a great tool for organizing your site layout. You can comp out your site in say Fireworks or Freehand and then bring it into Dreamweaver to use as a guide to align tables and layers...really anything!
You can use images in either .jpg, .gif, or .png formats.
Tracing images do not get exported with the html. So you don't have to worry about the size of the file. For example, many of the png's I use for tracing images are upwards of 500k, depending on the project. Don't be concerned with that because none of that will affect your final HTML document.
