(220)  Step #5;
In Step #5 under "Getting Started" Frames Tutorial, the last bolded sentence states,
"Navigate to and select the folder DWFrames; click Choose."  The word "Choose" should
be replaced with "Select".


(225)  Step #11;
The last bolded word in step #11 should be "OK" and not "Choose".


(221)  Step #7;
Step #7 should say, "Make sure 'None' appears in the pop-up menu. Click Next one last
time."


(582)  Next to last paragraph in dark gray box;
The box says that Ctrl-P will replay a command -- Ctrl-P prints.  Ctrl-Y
replays the last history item, but it dosen't seem willing to replay
a "run command" history item.  Clicking on "replay" does.

[584-584]  progress of steps through pages 582-584;
Instructions for creating a Web Photo Album produce the following error:

While executing onClick, the following JavaScript error(s) occurred:

At line 71 of the file "...\Commands\Create Web Photo album.js"
TypeError: dw.getDocumentDOM() has no properties

Macromedia has a tutorial that works at:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/programs/photoalbum/

There are two differences in Macromedia's instructions and those in the Missing
Manual text:

  1. Make a site for the Album
  2. Have a document open -- even though it is not used, it is required for the
command to work properly.
