Adding text and inserting objects

Add content to your pages by typing or pasting text and inserting objects such as images, tables, and layers.

To add text to your document, do one of the following:

	Type text directly into the Document window.
	Copy text from another application, switch to Dreamweaver, position the insertion point in the Document window, and choose Edit > Paste as Text. Dreamweaver doesn't preserve text formatting applied in the other application, but it does preserve line breaks.
	For more information about formatting text, see Formatting text overview.

To insert tables, images, and other objects into your document, do one of the following:

	Use the commands on the Insert menu to insert the specified objects into your document at the insertion point location.
	Choose Window > Objects to open the Object palette. Find the type of object you want and click or drag it to insert the object into the Document window.
	For most objects, a dialog box appears, prompting you to select options or the desired file. To hide the dialog box, choose Edit > Preferences, select General, and then deselect the Show Dialog When Inserting Objects option.

Note: To insert multiple consecutive spaces, use Insert > Non-Breaking Space. (But if you want to line up items in columns, use a table instead.)
