paragraph alignment

MiniMizer · MiniMizer

Hi,
I'm a new user of Dreamweaver 8 and I'm mostly working with hebrew documents;
the important thing about this is that I need all of the text to be aligned to
the right. Before Dreamweaver I've been working with Homesite 4.5.2, and all I
had to do in order to align the text to the right (that is, dir=rtl) is simply
right Ctrl+Shift - that would automatically add dir=rtl to the <body> tag.
However, in Dreamweaver this does not seem to work - I've tried adding the
dir=rtl to both the <body> and individual <P> tags (both manually through the
code display and by Shift+F5 from the design display).
No matter what, the design display shows the text as unaliagned, but if I save
the file and open it in any browser - it looks just fine!
It's very difficult for me to work like this, without the text being properly
aligned in the editor itself, can any of you suggest why this is happening and
what can I do to solve this problem?

Thanks in advance :)

Create a snippet and assign a hotkey to it. The cursor's insertion point
would have to be properly positioned, though.

Or, edit the default Basic HTML page to add this to the body tag (it's
called Default.html - make a backup first - in the Program
Files\Macromedia\Dreamweaver 8\Configuration\Document Types\NewDocuments
folder).

Or, use CSS to add a direction:rtl style to the redefined body tag -
particularly if you want your code to validate.
