My office hasn't upgraded to the latest Creative Suite, but I'm trying to get my head around CS5 with the online tutorials.  However, there are commands and toolbars mentioned that just aren't available in the version I'm stuck with.  Is there a PDF of the CS5 manual hiding anywhere on the web?

    Thanks for all the great references!  Ideally, this company should upgrade my Adobe package as I'm generations behind the guys in the satellite offices.  Until then, I have to work with what I have...

    Actually for emails, CS5 is the better mousetrap.  Be glad you have it.

    The HTML email templates that are in the newer version of DW are not in the older versions of DW.  If you are editing existing HTML emails, you should just be able to define a site where you can save the emails and then work on the emails as individual HTML documents within the site before you copy the code and images up to your email platform.  If you need a template to work with there are a few responsive options out there:
