when i use the Properties window to do something like change the width of a table cell, it automatically indents the code used for that cell and for the whole table unless i leave space between the cells. i turned off auto-indent (under the Options button in Code View) and it STILL moves things. is there a way to make edits with the Prop window without having Dreamweaver jerk your code around? it looks very unorganized and generally just disrupts whatver i'm working on because i have to go back and re-space everything....
 
Unless anyone else knows something I dont, I think the answer to your question is "no".

The reason being that making edits in the properties window is just an easy way to edit the code anyway - one is dependent on the other and you cant do one in isolation.

Besides, indenting various parts of your code helps both you and other people when they come to look at it later - it is a good programming technique... in this case the indenting helps you to see easily which <td> goes with which <tr> - I cant really understand why you would not wish this to happen!
