Visual guides overview
Dreamweaver provides several kinds of visual guides to help you design documents and predict approximately how
they appear in browsers. You can do any of the following:
• Instantly snap the Document window to a desired window size to see how the elements fit on the page.
• Use a tracing image as the page background to help you duplicate a design created in an illustration or image-editing
application such as Adobe® Photoshop® or Adobe® Fireworks®.
• Use rulers and guides to provide a visual cue for precise positioning and resizing of page elements.
• Use the grid for precise positioning and resizing of absolutely positioned elements (AP elements).
Grid marks on the page help you align AP elements, and when snapping is enabled, AP elements automatically snap
to the closest grid point when moved or resized. (Other objects, such as images and paragraphs, do not snap to the
grid.) Snapping works regardless of whether the grid is visible.
