Dreamweaver MX Tips: Start where you left off

This is a cool time-saving tip. Let say you're working on a large project and have a few documents open. You want to wrap it up for the night and continue tomorrow. Here's how to make DW open all the documents you were working on the night before open automatically on the next start up.
First, go to Edit>Preferences (CTRL-U). In General section check the Reopen Documents on Start-Up option.
Second, when you close DW, do not close individual documents, just quit the DW itself. Now, the next time you open DW, the documents you were working on will be there! Cooool!

Dreamweaver MX Tips: Quick way to insert a link

Want to add hyperlinks to your text quickly? You can with the point-to-file technique. Worked in Dreamweaver MX and MX 2004, but not in the latest Dreamweaver 8 for some reason.
Just highlight the text you want to link, then press shift on the keyboard and click-and-drag the selection to any file listed in the File panel. Voila!
