Hmmm... I used to use Homesite 4.n which had an edit mode, browse mode and
"design mode." Although, the design mode was only a view mode with table
borders turned on, etc. It wasn't a design mode at all. Are you suggesting
that by tweaking some preferences, I can use DW in the same way? IOW, I
can manually edit and peak at the basic design without changing any of my
own coding?
