In this lesson,
we will cover some basic page properties you should
set in the HTML document before you get into cutting
up any images.
STEP
A. The first thing
we need to do is get our file ready for the images and
tables we're going to add. We can see that the layout
will be aligned to the center and there are no margins
of any kind. The site will be right up against the top
edge of the browser screen. With your file open in Dreamweaver,
Right-Click
on the blank page and click Properties.
This will allow us to change the general properties
of the template page.

STEP
B. The Page
Properties dialogue box will open
and from there, you can select the general attributes
you want to use for the template page. In this case,
I will give the page a title, set the overall background
color to a standard gray, and set the margins to zero.
Click OK
to apply the changes and go back to page editing mode.

Fig
4.3 - You should now have a page with a gray color background,
and the cursor is all the way in the top left of the
page, happily blinking away (see red
arrow):
Your
page is now ready for the tables, images and text to
come!
