    If you do find you should be using an earlier version of Dw, then read this post by Jon Fritz -

    Hi,

    If you have questions on DW, you can copy paste images or use "Insert Image" option at the top bar.

    Do provide information on which DW version you are using.

      Hello,

    thanks for the reply,

    I am using dreamweaver 2017 CC. There is no insert pictures option - at least not when using a mobile device.

    I have created a file using bootstrap but in my live section I can't see any of the elements. I am supposed to play around with those elements for my assignment. Please help me

    I'm not certain exactly what you are trying to do, but Dw does not work on mobile devices.

    If however you are talking about live view, when set to the mobile device 'view', then you must double click on the image for these to apear. It is also possible that your instructor is talking about using design view and not live view, to enable design view click on the drop-down arrow, (where it says live) and select it.

    I would warn you though that Dw 2017 is no longer a visual layout tool, and to work with it effectively you will require a good understanding of html and css in order to work in code view.

    You should also check which version of Dw you should be using, as there is a big difference between how older versions are used and the current 2017 version.
