I know I can export/import site information but I want a similar
proceedure for preferences. I have searched for this information but I
have obviously overlooked it. Can anybody supply a pointer to this
information or, possibly, the steps needed to accomplish this.

Thanks,

If you have DW8 installed when you install DW CS3, the preferences are
automatically migrated.

There is no other tool in DW for migrating preferences, but you can do
it manually. Are you using Mac or Win?

Thank you, I didn't realize they would be automatically migrated. I am
using a PC/Win. Do you have a manual procedure if I should need it in
the future?

Warning: this requires manually updating the Windows Registry which can
totally mess up your system, so proceed at your own risk.

The DW8 General Registry key is here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Macromedia/Dreamweaver 8

The DW CS3 General Registry key is here:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Adobe/Dreamweaver 9

Use regedit to export the DW8 registry settings and then import it into
DW CS3.

HTH,
Randy

Thank you for the procedure. I will file it away in case I need it in
the future.

Thanks again.
