Aligning, spacing, and adding borders to photographs in design mode in dreamweaver.

I have an active website I designed with CS3 and CS5.5 Dreamweaver. The website is 13 years old and still evolviing. Now I am trying to use the latest Dreamweaver version because the old versions are incompatible with my new Macintosh. The new version has changed the alignment on some/most of my photographs. I cannot navigate the new Dreamweaver to find out how to align, space, and add borders to photographs in design mode. I'm not a programer and it seems that the engineers assumed that everyone using Dreamweaver is a genus engineer using code. Well, maybe they are, but this 77 year old woman volunteer who has developed an inventory website for a nonprofit conservation group is not. Can someone help me?

Switch to LIVE view (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + F11). See screenshot.

Please post the URL to your problem page so we can see what you're working with. And then tell us what you need help with.

Dreamweaver is not a click & drag design tool. Never was. It's fundamentally a code editor. Nothing close to genius aptitude required. But it's assumed users have basic skills with HTML & CSS code.

I am unable to read all that you have posted because words abut the left page edge. Is there suppose to be screenshot? To be honest, I don’t understand anything I can read. You assume I know what padding and shadow box mean and how to judge how much I will need of these things for my photographs. I don’t. I’m sorry. I guess I was spoiled by the old Dreamweaver software.

Attached are two of the 9 websites i developed with CS5.5. With the new Dreamweaver, I think I’m going to have to find another hobby. I can see why web designers are choosing to use other types of software. Those of you who understand all of the terms have probably taken courses and/or had help from others. I’m 77 and don’t have much time left to do this.
