Insert toolbar in Dreamweaver 2017

[johnw97228971]

I've been trying to find out how to add my Insert toolbar in the 2017 version (instead of having it just as a menu item). I saw in another post that someone used the Dreamweaver CC: Restore the Classic Insert Bar tutorial and it worked for them but I can't seem to get it to work for me. Am I missing something?

All you should need to do is...

1. Open the Insert panel under Window > Insert

2. Click and drag the named tab of the insert panel up to the top of the application frame until it ghosts itself and a horizontal highlight appears as shown here...

3. Release the tab and the insert panel will turn into a toolbar as shown here...

Thanks! I was trying to drag the actual Insert tab and not opening it from the Window dropdown first. I've used Dreamweaver since it came from the old Homesite days...not sure why I had such a senior moment! Thanks!

That link points to a 3rd party commercial extension offered by Project Seven.  You don't need it though unless you want to revert to the classic look.

The tutorial is generic and has nothing to do with buying an extension. It is simply a more detailed version of what John Fitz suggested in his reply to you. The method does work, so it could simply be a matter of hand-eye coordination. Try again and if you still cannot get it to work, please post back and someone should be able to help you. If you do happen to be a customer of ours, you may also feel free to email or telephone us and we will walk you through the process.

My apologies, Al.  I honestly thought you were offering this as an extension. 

PS. I don't have any problems with you -- this week or any other week .
