Document Toolbar
The first 3 icons switch between 3 different views:

code view only
code and design view
design view only

Most of the time I work in 'code and design view' mode.

The Properties palette is very useful. It is context sensitive, which means it adapts the content based on what 'object' (HTML element) you have selected.

By selecting text, you get the basic Format, Font, B, I, U, Alignment, Bullet, Link, ... properties.

Hoover the cursor over the icons to see a balloon help

Format
'Paragraph' sets a ... around the selected text
'Heading ...' sets a <h...> ... </h...> around the selected text
Font sets the font of the selected text
Text Color : select from the color picker or enter the color name e.g. 'red' into the field
Bold [Ctrl+B], Italic [Ctrl+I]
Text Alignment : Left [Ctrl+Alt+Shift+L], Center [...+C], Right [...+R], Justified [...+J]
Link : add a <a...> </a> around the selected text

Clicking inside a cell of a table the dialog shows cell width, background-, border color, horizontal and vertical alignment, etc.

The Design palette : CSS Styles, HTML Styles, Behaviors

The Code palette : Tag Inspector, Snippets, Reference

To add a new folder (e.g.: C Sharp) to the snippets collection, right-click on the 'Name' field, then select 'New Folder' from the pop-up menu.
To create a new snippet from existing objects (HTML elements) simply select the objects, right-click them and then select 'Create New Snippet' from the pop-up menu.
A double-click on an existing snippet inserts the previously define HTML code at the cursor position.

The Files palette : Site, Assets

The Insert palette : Common, Layout, Text, Tables, Frames, Forms, Templates, Characters, Media, Head, Script, ASP.Net, Application
