To choose a workspace layout the first time you start 

Dreamweaver:

1.

Select one of the following layouts:

Designer

 is an integrated workspace using MDI (Multiple Document 

Interface), in which all Document windows and panels are integrated 

into one larger application window, with the panel groups docked on 

the right. 

Coder

 is the same integrated workspace, but with the panel groups 

docked on the left, in a layout similar to that used by Macromedia 

HomeSite and Macromedia ColdFusion Studio, and with the 

Document window showing Code view by default.

NO

You can dock panel groups on either side of the workspace in either 

TE

layout.

2.

Click OK.

To switch to a different workspace after you've chosen one:

I

Select Window > Workspace Layout, and select the workspace layout 

you prefer.

In addition to selecting Coder and Designer, you can select Dual Screen 

Right or Dual Screen Left. If you have a secondary monitor to the right of 

your primary monitor, Dual Screen Right puts all panels on the right 

monitor, and keeps the Document window on the primary monitor. If you 

have a secondary monitor to the left of your primary monitor, Dual Screen 

Left puts all panels on the left monitor, and keeps the Document window 

on the primary monitor.

Displaying tabbed documents (Macintosh)

On the Macintosh, Dreamweaver can display multiple documents in a 

single Document window by using tabs to identify each document. 

Dreamweaver can also display them as part of a floating workspace, in 

which each document appears in its own window.

To open a tabbed document in a separate window:

I

Right click or Control click the tab and select Move to New Window 

from the context menu.
