Can adjust page elements in MX, but not in CS3

Question

I don't know what to call this problem, so couldn't do a
search on this forum. I have two computers, one of which runs
Dreamweaver MX, the other of which runs CS3. I can access different
elements of a particular set of web pages in MX, for example
resizing a photograph. But in CS3 all the page elements within the
"contents" div tag highlight as one single element, so that, for
example, if I try to delete a single word of text, the entire
contents--pictures, text, etc.--gets deleted instead. I made these
pages in MX. I'm guessing that there is some default setting in CS3
that is preventing me from accessing the individual content
elements. Here is a sample page:

Can someone help me out? Thanks in advance.

> for example resizing a photograph
Never resize a photo or any image from within DW. Load the
image in your
image editor and resize it there. If you do it in DW you
aren't actually
changing the size, merely squeezing or stretching it thereby
diminishing its
quality. And if you reduce the size (in DW) you have a
visually smaller
image but the pixel size (weight) doesn't reduce.
