lower-right corner of the panel. If the Property inspector is collapsed, there can be additional
properties that are not visible until you expand the panel.
Windows users can also reduce the inspector so that only the name of the panel shows to
gain a larger viewing area.
Windows users can also resize the entire area for the Property inspector (and
additional panels that later appear in that area) by dragging the arrow button on
the horizontal border between the document window and the Property inspector.
Clicking the arrow button collapses the entire area; simply click the button again
to reopen it. The horizontal border is not part of the Macintosh interface.
Working with Panels and Documents
The majority of Dreamweaver’s panels are docked—combined in tabbed windows—
within panel groups according to their functions. The default panel groups are CSS,
Application, Tag Inspector, and Files. You can access panels from within these groups as
well as from the Window menu. Panel groups let you quickly hide or access your most
frequently used panels. Docking maximizes your screen area while giving you quick access
to the panels you need. Each panel group can be expanded to display the active panel plus
tabs for the rest of the panels it contains or reduced to show only the name of the group.
If you opened Dreamweaver before beginning this lesson, the panels are placed exactly
where they were the last time you quit the program. In the Window menu, a checkmark
next to an item indicates that the panel or toolbar is selected and active (visible) in the
panel groups.
