Hi Marian

What you are seeing is not HomeSite but the internal DW HTML source window.
Whether or not HomeSite comes with DW varies depends on the version you
have. Unfortunately I don't know if it comes with the educational version.
Browse the DW CD and see if you can find a file called HomeSite.exe. On my
CD (the studio version) there is a HomeSite folder inside the DW folder. If
you do find it you need to install HomeSite.

Once you have done this open DW and go to Edit>Preferences. On the list
select External Editors. You should then be able to browse to Homesite and
set it up as your external HTML editor. From then on, when you have the DW
HTML source window open clicking on the "External Editor..." button should
open HomeSite.
