Hi,
In my opinion, it's not good. I can use it in code view, which makes it so that 
I might as well use my favorite editor, so I use it to keep the site I work on 
in sync. I bring a page into it, then go to the edit menu and tell it to edit 
the file with my favorite editor. Once I save and close the file, DreamWeaver 
realizes that it changes, tells me about it, lets me bring it back in, and I'm 
good to go.

They have a lot of keyboard shortcuts, but many of them are unconventional. You 
can reassign them and assign shortcut keys to other commands, but I feel that 
if you already know another package, unless you're using DreamWeaver-specific 
technology, you're better off to use something you're familiar with in the 
interest of getting your work done.

Hi, all,
How accessible is Dreamweaver CS4 for JAWS or WindowEyes user?
I'm going to take a Web designing course at a college and we are using 
DreamWeaver CS4. Any configuration tips, resources to read/listen are very 
appreciated.
Thank you.
