ASP Includes in Dreamweaver cs3

Hi all,
My issue is that I can't get more than 1 include to display
in the editor view of dreamweaver...I have all my settings setup
correctly for my site, but it fails to show anything past the first
one. I don't ever use this editor view, but my boss is going to
take over the site when I leave so he needs to be able to view
stuff in the editor view because he has zero code experience...Any
ideas? Here's a generic page of code...
<html>
<head><title>Sutter-Yuba Mosquito Vector Control
District (SYMVCD)</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"
href="Styles.css">
</head>
<body>
<div id="Page">



<div id="HomePageContent">
<p align="center" class="ContentHeading">
Welcome!</p>
<p class="ContentText">
</p>
</div>

</div>
</body>
</html>

Damn scary. Guess who is going to clean up all the messes?
Do any of your includes contain <html>, <head>,
or <body> tags?
(and by the way, those are ordinary HTML includes)

Help using asp includes in Dreamweaver

I'm using asp includes (  ) in my
website. When viewing the site in Dreamweaver sometimes I
don't see the
included page. Is there a way to always see the included
page?
I have version 7.01 of dreamweaver on a window xp machine.

You need to set up a testing server. Are you using XP home or
pro? If it's home then you are going to have problems.

Are Server-Side Includes in Dreamweaver ok to use?

Hi, I'm considering using the built-in feature, 'Server-Side Includes' in Dreamweaver CS3. Can anyone tell me if this is ok to use, or is there a better way of approaching this process?
Many thanks in advance!

Yes, server-side includes are an excellent feature. Just make sure that your server supports them. On many servers, you need to change the file name extension from .html to .shtml.
The other thing to remember is that a server-side include should just be a fragment of a page. It should not include a DOCTYPE declaration or duplicate <html>, <head>, or <body> tags.

Missing File - Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion, and PHP

On page 263 of Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP, Coldfusion,
and PHP by:Jeffrey Bardzel and Bob Flynn the file called
countryDetailXML.asp is missing. How can I find that file? Any
idea?
Thanks for your help.

@citaiz,
That file is created earlier in the lesson in an exercise
starting on page 257. For the sake of the lesson, you can use
countryDetail.xml that is included in the lesson 09 start folder.
It is not important for this lesson that the XML is a static file
or one generated in real time from the database. The version of
Spry (1.4) that shipped with DW CS3 used XML data only. The current
version (1.6.1) can use JSON and HTML tables for the data source as
well. You can get the latest version of Spry for free at
http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/spry/,
including an extension to update your copy of DW to the latest
version.

Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP coldfusion and PHP search?

I am working through Adobe Dreamweaver CS3 with ASP
coldfusion and PHP with the intent of creating a data base site
that primarily requires a search engine on the index page. The
search page in the book uses specific search criteria ensuring that
there will always be a match to the data base but I need to create
an input text field search engine. My Q, if there is no data within
the data base that match the variable, will it return with an error
requiring an argument in the code to respond to no matching data.
Hopefully there are comprehensive online recourses for these search
engines as they are so common. I am a complete newby to all aspects
of web development and code so it will need to be a thorough
explanation, an idiots guide. ANY HELP GREATLY APPRECIATED

Rob,
Let me try to answer your questions, understanding that my
answers are laced with my experience and therefore my bias.
1. For the most part the SQL that you write for Access, MS
SQL or MySQL is going to be the same. I won't make that claim about
Oracle or PostgreSQL because I have limited or no experience in
those areas. To be sure when you head down the road with any DBMS
there are finer points on 'value added' features (to over simplify
things like MS SQL's Transact SQL), but for the most part when you
are pulling out, inserting or deleting records the SQL that you
write will be the same. In fact, I don't think I had to make any of
the SQL in the book different to deal with the back end db.
2. As for your host steering you away from MySQL, I don't
know why that would be. It is MUCH more stable and robust than
Access for web development. My research showed that you can use
MySQL just fine with ASP though that clearly wouldn't be
Microsoft's first choice.
3. A quick aside, the fact that you are building ASP on a Mac
would seem to indicate that you are developing on your production
server. That's never a good idea. Go local if you can. If you have
a newer Intel Mac you can use VM Fusion, Parallels or even Boot
Camp to run Windows in a virtual environment and develop there,
only moving your code to production when you are happy with it.
There is of course the fact that they two environments would not be
identical and you may need to change a few references, but it is
still a better practice than developing on your live site. Some web
hosts give you the ability to set up a subdomain. If yours does,
you could set one up with a duplicate of your site and develop
there.
4. Let me try to pull your 'rant-let' apart into two issue. I
begin with a question. I'm not sure what the Mac part has to do
with it. The primary language I work in at my day job is
ColdFusion. The majority of the most serious developers I know in
the CF world work on Macs. I am forced into the PC world because of
a cultural bias at the business school where I work. Having said
that, the only time I have felt there was ANY difference in the
tools, resources, choices I had was in any way affected by platform
was when Adobe still had not released Flex Builder 2 for the Mac.
Now that is behind us as well. This reaction of mine may be based
on the fact that Access never comes into play in the work that I
do. I regularly work with MS SQL and MySQL. (OK, so SQL Enterprise
Manager, the MS tool of choice to talk to MS SQL is Windows only,
but I only use that at the day job. But even there you can find
cross-platform, free tools like Aqua Data Studio to talk from a Mac
to MS SQL.) If I'm missing your point on the Mac, please let me
know. Since the advent of the Intel Mac I think it is hands-down
the best choice for a web developer. You can have Mac, Windows and
Unix all on one machine. It doesn't get any better (providing you
have the RAM :-)).
As for the security question, it is somewhat analogous to the
war on viruses and spyware. As the defenses get better, so do the
attacks. Most languages have developed functions for vetting user
input variables and best practices for building these things. It is
mainly a user education issue. When I took over the book you are
working out of, the one thing Jeffrey told me it needed was more
security. I did my best to put more in under the constraints of the
publisher. They didn't want the book to be any longer than the
previous version. I did my best to modify the code used to include
"string safe" functions and to add verbiage about the importance of
security. It was clear that I could not add as much as was needed
and I said so in the book. Much more is needed for a serious
treatment of the subject and not acknowledging that would have been
a disservice to the readers. I've been working as a developer for
over a decade and I don't know all there is to know about it. It's
a constantly changing field, just like all of web development. In
fact next week I'm going through a 2-day SANS Web Application
Security workshop in hopes of learning more. So at the risk of
sounding like an industry apologist, I don't think it's a
shortcoming of the development community. It is, as they say, "a
developing situation".

Errors when trying to INSERT Dreamweaver CS3 ASP scripts into MySql

Greetings everyone,
I am hoping that someone can shed some light on an issue I have not been able to solve in the last few days. I have a website that I had built using Ultradev, then MX then CS3, using the default ASP scripts in dreamweaver and an odbc connection to an Access Database. Everything had been working fine for the last couple of years until recently where more people were visiting my site which resulted in the slowness because i was using access. I decided to move to a MySql database and that is when I ran into issues. I was able to solve most everything accept for one issue I am having. I was hoping it would be an easy transition by changing the ODBC connections but it has not been that easy. Any page I have with an INSERT command using the default Dreamweaver CS3 ASP script results in an error. Now I can query and delete and search with no problem...it is just the INSERT that is giving me issues. Here is just a general insertion script that CS3 does by default....

....any idea what to modify to make it insert the corect data? Has anyone experienced this? If I can get this fixed with just this page I can probablly fix the other pages that have teh same issue. Is there a special setting on the MySql that I should know about to allow data to be inserted? Any help would GREATLY appreciated!
Thank you!

Thanks for your reply!
When it was in Access...the datatype was Text. I used a 3rd party software to convert Assess directly to my hosting MySql server. When I logged in to see the table in MySql, it is set to Varchar(3) for yeshot and Varchar(30) for userhot. There is also an extra field I used for the KEY called commentID which is set to int(11) and it is autonumbered. Under the Collation i have utf8_general_ci set on the yeshot and userhot field. Null is No on both and the Default is set to None and all 3 fields.
I have a form I am collecting that data from which is:
<% If (langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)="FR" Then
         response.write("OUI!")
         else
         response.write("YES!")
         End if %>
<input name="yeshotf" type="radio" id="yeshotf" value="1" checked>
                            <span class="style10">
                            <input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" value="VOTE!">
                            </span> -
<input name="yeshotf" type="radio" id="yeshotf" value="2">
                            <% If (langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)="FR" Then
         response.write("NON!")
         else
         response.write("NO!")
         End if %>
                            <input name="useridf" type="hidden" id="useridf" value="<%=(hotornot.Fields.Item("membername").Value)%>">
                            <input type="hidden" name="MM_insert" value="form1">
                          <input type="hidden" name="hdwfail" id="hdwfail" value="sexyoupasvote.asp?langname=<%=(langname.Fields.Item("langname").Value)%>&membernam e=<%=(hotornot.Fields.Item("membername").Value)%>&hdwmsg=invalid">
</form>
....the form has 2 radio button and 1 hidden field where I collect the username. The radio value should either be a 1 or a 2 depending on the selection by the user. I also have a captha on the form but that does not seem the cause any problem since I am not collecting any data from it. Does this help? I left the yeshot field as Text but I can change that to Numeric data... again thanks for your assistance in helping me try to figure this out.
...The message I am getting now is:

ASP Include File issue

I have been trying to use a form as an include file.
I created the file as a separate asp page, and then tried to
add it as an
include, the page fails when I try in on my testing server.
If I create the
form within the page I get no problems!!
Also when the page displays in the design view I get the
</Head> tag showing
within the include file of the page.
Anyone any suggestions to fixing these issues.
Thanks
Lez

The way to think of it is that the server reads original
page, and if it has
an include, it grabs that and throws it in the code where you
told it to be.
What you get is one compiled page that goes to the browser.
So any CSS or
other info at the top of your calling page will affect
everything in the
page. Look at your page in a browser, then check out "View
Source" and
you'll see that it looks like one page. The browser doesn't
know, or care,
whether it was assembled from several parts or is just one
whole page from
the get go.
So yes, it can go...as long as that CSS call is in the top of
the calling
page! Which I don't think it is (but it should be).

Dreamweaver CS3 crashes HELP!

I'm working on a project in DreamweaverCS3 using Coldfusion
7.0.2.
I have a page that has some drop down menus that are
populated via a coldfusion query. When I click on the
<cfselect> statement line (I need to edit this one value to
fix the page), Dreamweaver CS3 crashes.
I have never seen this before ever. Has anyone else seen this
type of thing with there CS3?
The other thing I completely hate about Dreamweaver is when i
preview an HTML page in a browser window and sometimes when I go
back and forth between the browser and Dreamweaver, I won't be able
to save the file because I get a sharing violation error. So i have
to either wait a few minutes before i can save for some reason or I
have to shut down the browser.
I used to use Homesite and i always, always could preview in
a new browser window, make edits, and refresh the page. Life was
good. This disrupts my workflow and i think Adobe should consider
changing how Dreamweaver handles files in CS4 and hopefully do away
with this bug. Its extremely annoying and slows me down.
What sucks is i spend all of this money on CS3 Web Premium
and now i have to use wordpad to edit this file so i can move
on!

I like to use server-side includes for site wide menus, headers and footers.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/server_side_includes.asp
Some people like to use DW Templates to create their site pages. If you use a Template.dwt, you can put your site wide menu and other common page elements into it and they will appear on all child pages created from that Template file.
http://www.smartwebby.com/web_site_design/dreamweaver_template.asp#1
DIFFERENCES:
SSI works on the server. Edit one file, upload and you're done. Your hosting provider needs to support the use of includes in either .shtml, .asp or .php pages.
DW Templates only work in Dreamweaver sites. And you must re-publish all child pages after editing your Template.dwt file.

My first look at Dreamweaver CS3

Hi all, just got CS3 Web Standard install on my PC. The
installation was good with no problems, so far. Only open
Dreamweaver and Fireworks. I do not see any slow down from running
Dreamweaver CS3, and Fireworks CS3.
Good
I work with classics ASP daily for work, I noticed the code
view is high lighting correctly now, compare to DW8. The Design
display looks bad, but that is expected since my asp file is a
master file. This is a big plus for me.
Wondering Why
The Check CSS function did find two parsing errors, and a lot
of min-height in the style sheet. I right click on the error and
selected more info. DW did point out the problem but the more info
option only took me to the Home page of CSS Advisor, and not to any
articles related to min-height. I knew CSS Advisor existed already
before and have it in my Bookmarks. I was thinking it would take me
directly to a solution with out searching for it. Not a big deal,
just a point
Over all Dreamweaver CS3 looks similar to 8, I am very very
very please with the code highlighting for asp. I hand code
everything for work including SQL and database connection. It would
be nice to see a SQL code page under other for highlighting the
code.
Did anybody every get the email back for the free gift after
registering, I have not.

1) The technote says this happens only with ASP and PHP code.
I'm using ColdFusion. (That's a minor point.)
2) The technote says...
Delete the WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat file from the
Dreamweaver user configuration folder. Note that on Windows, the
Application Data and AppData folders are hidden by default, so
verify that your Windows Explorer folder options are set to View
Hidden Folders. The location of this file is as follows:
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows Vista:
C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Dreamweaver
9\Configuration
Dreamweaver CS3 on Windows XP:
C:\Documents and Settings\[username]\Application
Data\Adobe\Dreamweaver 9\Configuration
However, I coudn't find WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat in
Documents and Settings or in Program Files (86)\Adobe. (The 86 is
because this is a 32-bit program on a 64-bit machine, but all the
rest is the same.) I then searched both directories for *.dat and
there was no file that looked anything like
WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat.
.Can anybody help me?
Thanks!

Alan, thanks for the suggestion.
I did the search found the file, deleted it, opened
Dreamweaver CS3, selected the same text -- and it crashed as
before.
THEN I REBOOTED and tried again - NO CRASH. So it seems that
a reboot is an essential part of the fix.
BTW: My situation fit the Technote description exactly. (1)
The crash happened when selecting -- in design or code view --
certain text in a context of HTML intermingled with ColdFusion
code; (2) I had no problem with these files before Daylight Savings
ended; (3) even after that I had no problem with them in Macromedia
Dreamweaver 8 on another machine -- the problem was only on CS3.
So the Technote is correct as far as it goes, but should be
amended as follows:
1) ColdFusion should be included in the types of code that
can be associated with the problem.
2) Instead of deleting WinFileCache-AD76BB20.dat, one should
delete WinFileCache-[whatever].dat.
3) A reboot after the deletion may be required.
Anyway, problem solved.
Thank you!

Dreamweaver CS3 with existing Server Behaviours

Hi All,
Obviously i'm aware of the upcoming launch of Dreamweaver
CS3, which looks good, I'm currently using MX 2004 and considering
upgrading, however before i do so i have some queries.
We specialise in building ASP applications, which is why we
bought MX 2004 in the first place, as it included a number of
Server Behaviuors like login, go to detail page, recordset builders
etc, however as we found up, some of the key Server Behaviours,
like file upload and smartmail were not included.
Since then we've spent a lot of money buying extensions such
as WebAssist's SuperSuite and DMXZone's SmartMailor and
PureASPUpload to mention but a few.
Obviously keen to ensure before we purchase Dreamweaver CS3
that it is still aimed at developers and ccomes with Server
Behaviours but also that it still supports all of these extensions
and that we wouldn't therefore be losing the use of these very
usefull tools.
Thanks in advance

Dreamweaver CS3 most definitely supports server behaviors:
http://www.adobe.com/products/dreamweaver/features/allfeatures/
"Open server and technology support
"Support for leading technologies
"Take advantage of support for leading web development
technologies,
including HTML, XHTML, CSS, XML, JavaScript, Ajax, PHP,
AdobeÂ®
ColdFusionÂ®, ASP, ASP.NET, and JSP."
AFAIK, all leading extension developers have been given the
opportunity
to test their extensions with the new version. To find out
whether the
particular commercial extensions you use are compatible with
CS3,
contact the developer directly.

Dreamweaver CS3 no longer opens files

Greetings,
I am not sure where to post this, so I will post here - already have a question open on the Dreamweaver forums.
I have run into an unusual problem. I can no longer open files either on my local machine or remote server without Dreamweaver CS3 freezing. I am using OS X Leopard - 10.5.2 on an Intel MacBook Pro. A week or so ago I was able to open my .asp files just fine. Now, Dreamweaver simply freezes when I try and open them - either locally or remotely. I tried deleted the preferences file and removing site information from Manage Sites with no luck. I can create and open new files, but cannot open the existing files.
I copied the files in question to a PC and opened them just fine using Dreamweaver 8.02. I just don't know enough about the technical aspects to properly troubleshoot this problem. I already tried reinstalling also.
By the way, I am able to access, open and edit my files from the remote server using my PC and version 8.02.
Any ideas?

It seems this is a known issue with Dreamweaver. I was able to access the files just fine by deselecting "display external links" in the view menu. Strange that I did not have to do this before.
For anyone interested, here are some links about this: http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/webforums/forum/messageview.cfm?forumid=12&catid=18 9&threadid=1262486&highlight_key=y&keyword1=design%20mode and http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=kb401608&sliceId=1

Design view in DreamWeaver CS3 disabled for CSS & Java

I currently use Adobe Dreamweaver CS3, and only some files have the option to view them in code AND in design view. This works for most files (HTML, PHP, etc). However, anytime I create a new CSS or Java file, the design view is disabled:
I have already tried the two other solutions I've found in this forum.
First I tried Preferences > File Types / Editors, and I deleted all of the file types in the "Open in Code View" menu (pictured below).
I restarted DW, and it didn't work.
Then I tried several steps to re-create the Configuration folder (which it did, but the problem remained) listed here: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/401/kb401118.html.
Still nothing. HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not. I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Any help much appreciated - thanks!

HTML, PHP, ASP and all other files have the Design View and Split View available, but CSS and Java do not.
That's correct. That's as it should be.
A CSS file contains a bunch of text only CSS rules. Javascript is text-only script. There's no layout to see for CSS and JS files in Design and Split View so they're disabled.
Files with layout e.g. .htm, .php have Design View because they're web pages with a layout which can be viewed.
I would really like to use DW to start editing CSS, but do not know it well enough to write in code and therefore could really use that handy Design View so I can learn as I tweak it.
Open any .htm or .php (or other) web page and its associated CSS file.
Then tweak the CSS either via Code View in the CSS file, or using the DW CSS Editor when viewing the .htm/.php file, and see the formatting changes applied in Design View in the .htm (or .php) file.
Do not rely on DW's Design View as an absolute reference for pixel perfect accuracy. It will always be an approximation only to assist visually oriented web designers while editing.
Always test all CSS rules and edits in a range of browsers. Browser support for CSS rules and effects varies. Not all browsers support everything on offer in CSS1, CSS2 and CSS3.

Dreamweaver CS3 First Run problems

Installing Dreamweaver CS3 Saga.
I've had some trouble and despite looking for answers and
trying a few things I'm getting nowhere. I've included a timeline
of events below to help explain.
0) System: New Dell Opliplex 745 running XP Pro Sp2 and
networked to a domain. Educational License ordered for MOPS school.
Disk delivered.
1) Tried installing in regular user's account. When it
prompted for admin details, I entered them, but it didn't work.
Insufficient rights to install, fair enough.
2) Logged on as domain admin. Tried installing. Failed!
Insufficient rights. Hmmm.
3) Logged on to local computer as administrator. Installed.
Success! However, could not find the serial number so selected
"trial" option. All worked ok. Emailed supplier to find out why
serial was not included with disk.
4) Gave regular user full admin rights on computer to avoid
future hassles.
5) Obtained serial from supplier (it was on the invoice).
Entered serial number while logged on as user. Dreamweaver accepted
serial but then a blank dialog box (titled Adobe Dreamweaver CS3)
opened over the top of the rest of Dreamweaver and froze up access
to Dreamweaver. Can't close box, can't interact with box apart from
moving it around over the top of DW. It doesn't count as a separate
window in the task bar.
6) Ended Dreamweaver process, loaded it again. Blank dialog
box appeared yet again however Dreamweaver began some adobe
updating. ~140mb download. Around 20mb in, some files began
installing - so far so good. Then, adobe updater vanished and we're
back to frozen dialog box.
7) Restarted computer. Logged on as user again, ran
Dreamweaver again. Frozen blank dialog box again HOWEVER I did find
that if I was quick I could interact normally with Dreamweaver,
open files, etc for a few seconds until dialog box kicks in. Also
when ending the task instead of ending the process, the windows
message says "The system cannot end this program because it is
waiting for a response from you. To return to windows and check the
status of the program, click cancel. If you choose to end the
program immediately, you will lose any unsaved data. To end the
program, click End Now." Obviously this refers to the blank dialog
box but I can't interact with the box so I can't respond to DW.
8) Remembering previous troubles, logged off and logged on to
local machine as administrator. Ran Dreamweaver again. This time an
initial dialog box asking about file associations popped up. Then,
Adobe update began running, this time 120mb download. Once again,
around 20mb in, some files installed and then Dreamweaver frozen
dialog box once more is revealed. The rest of the updates are
nowhere to be seen, adobe updater does not seem to be running any
more.
9) Found an issue in forums with corrupt Bonjour installation
causing DNS trouble. Figured this might be affecting the updates,
uninstalled the service as outlined elsewhere on this forum. Did
not help.
10) Decided to attempt a repair install from the disk. It
seemed to work but then only the shared components seemed to
install. But underneath that in the installation window, it said
both Dreamweaver and the Shared Components failed to install. So
did it fail or did it not fail? Your guess is as good as mine.
11) Ran Dreamweaver again. This time, a green "scrolling
credits" style window appeared, with "Click here to continue". Upon
clicking, the credits window disappeared and all looked well. I
alt-tabbed to something else but when I went back into Dreamweaver
the blank dialog window was back again.
I've searched the net, and scanned these forums but I am
unable to find a similar issue or any clue as to how to proceed
next.
I am going to try to uninstall Dreamweaver and reinstall it
fully, while logged on as local admin, probably I will use the CS3
clean script that I found on the forums to make sure its all gone;
and then I will enter the serial at the same time as installation
to avoid ever triggering the trial installation conditions. In the
meantime if anyone has any suggestions feel free to chip in with
ideas.
PS Further information which I just remembered: Internet
access is restricted by a proxy. Adobe updater worked fine after
giving it username and password to log on to the proxy. Perhaps
this frozen screen is trying to access the internet?

Further information - when I tried to uninstall I was advised
by the uninstaller that I should deactivate CS3. But I couldn't
find how to do that in the few seconds before everything freezes.
I had an inspiration to pull the network plug out and sure
enough, the frozen window became a window which reads:
Dreamweaver is unable to connect to the internet to register
your product. I selected "Register Never" so hopefully this will
fix my problem!

Lines around type and other type/text problems in Dreamweaver CS3

Dear Dreamweaver forum:
Good news/bad news,
First the good news…
My thanks to a forum member by the name of Mylenium. With Mylenium's advice I have improved my halo problem by including a black background when I save type in Illustrator CS3 as part of importing it into Dreamweaver CS3.
However, the bad news, is that I’m still having type and text problems.
Problem area 1
Now, in Dreamweaver, I’m getting lines appearing around the type.
I am dragging and dropping the .gif type file into a Dreamweaver Div Tag.
How do I get rid of the lines around the type so that they do not show up in the Safari browser?
(Please see below)
Problem area 2
I cannot drag and drop text from a Word .doc file into a Dreamweaver div tag.
I also cannot copy and paste Word .doc text into a div tag.
How do I include text on my webpage without having to manually type it in?
(Please see below)
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
From within Dreamweaver CS3, how do I place text? Dragging and droppign the file does not work.
This is screenshot of what I see so far when I use Safari to test what I have made so far in Dreamweaver CS3.
I get lines around type.........not usually a good thing.........How do I fix it?
The way I created the portfolio type in IllustratorCS3 using the File > Save for Web and Devices. I then imported the resulting .gif file so that it was within my root folder within the Files panel within Dreamweaver CS3.
Am I doing this right?

Hi
The problems you are experiencing with the image text, (why are you using image text, these days?) is probably cause by the image having a border when created in illustrator, or the image size being set incorrectly.
As for the word text if you are using windows, see http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ce6.html.
On the mac it is a little more complex, save your word doc as html, then apply the 'clean up word html files', (see - http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/9.0/help.html?content=WSc78c5058ca073340dcda91 10b1f693f21-7ef5.html) copy the relevant text and mark-up from the word html file, and paste into your html document in the required position.
