I am having issues seeing Design View. I am in a class where we use a textbook and follow step by step directions. The book wants me to use Design view but whenever I click on it I get the following issue. I go to View - Design and it defaults back to live view and a blank screen. Help please!

Can you show us the code you are trying to view, as the dom panel is not showing any html elements beyond head and body?

Live view works fine - Design View is where I am having an issue. The book is having me complete a spell check and I cannot do that without being able to get into the Design View screen.

Your image is so small I can't make out what it says.

Which version is your text book written for?

Dreamweaver CC. The view options on the top of the screen include Code, Split, and Live. Design view is not a shortcut there so I have to manually select it using a drop down menu. Once I do that it completely blanks my screen out as if there is nothing on the webpage.

Design and Live are now the same button. Click the tiny arrow next to Live and Design will be an option in a drop menu.

Unless you're using a legacy Fluid Grid Layout. As part of deprecating and finally removing them from the program, Adobe removed Design View when working with Fluid Grid Layouts.

If you are using an LFGL, there is a way to get Design View back, but it would be better to move away from the obsolete coding method all together.
