I am new to Dreamweaver 8. A web designer set up a website for me, but now I'm on my own to add text and add photos to already existing pages in dreamweaver 8. I know how to add a table. Once the table appears on the page, I kow how to drag on the corners to stretch out the table. I know how to put the text into the table, but then....when I save it...the inserting of the table stretches out the entire page and nothing looks the same as it did! I want to be able to move the table around the page and center it, etc. Someone told me to click on the outside left hand margin of the page..but then what?

I know how to add a photo (image)...but the same thing happens. It gets added to the page very veryHUGE..I can then resize the photo by clicking on the corners...but then it doesn't get formatted properly and also messes up the entire page. What I want to do is build my website with text and photos, and I can't figure out how to format either so it looks right. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your reply. I basically need instructions from the start, almost written like:

1. Open dreamweaver page.
2. Insert image, etc. etc. In a way, your explanation is a bit over my head.

Do you need to insert a table BEFORE you insert an image? I'm confused. Any help, in a very simple, straightforward way would be so appreciated. The image is already sized properly, when it was created in adobe photoshop. However, when I "insert image" in dreamweaver, it still shows up very very large on the page. Of course, I can size it by pulling at the ends and can make it smaller, but then it is still all over the page, and I can't get it where I want it.

If you could write something out very simply, with the assumption that i KNOW NOTHING, that would be great!
Thanks,
Jane

Thanks for your post. I have made the photo pretty small in photoshop.

I need to know how to insert it in dreamweaver. Do you need to create a table first, and then insert it...or do you just click on "insert image".

Once I insert the image, how can I move it around so it stays in 1 place..in the right place?
I am new, so if you could lay it out in very lay person's terms, that would be so much appreciated!
