Please note:  You are looking at the Web page off of your computer, NOT the Web server.  To see how the page looks "live," you will need to put a copy of the Web page on the server.  For instructions on how to do this, please go to the Site Window page.

1. Go to the File menu and choose Preview in Browser, and then choose Netscape Navigator or Internet Explorer.
2. A Web browser window will open displaying your Web page. 
   (Whenever you preview a Web page, Dreamweaver creates a temporary file that can be deleted.)
3. Close the Web browser window when you are through.
