As usual, Macromedia's preference options are deliciously extensive, allowing me to customize to my heart's content. One very convenient command is 'Launch External Editor'. If these haven't been set within the preferences dialogs, this preference component will open. Everything can be assigned to an editor, ranging from HTML to gifs to wavs. Double-clicking any element on a page will open the appropriate editor.
VIEW allows a range of options.
Included here are border and imagemap options. A new feature accessed via this menu is the 'Tracing Image' dialog. Look at this. Yes, I know. It's a picture of two hands holding something.
