MAC - no draw layer or insert table options

I'm working my way through some 'how to..' books on DW MX, but i've hit the same snag twice now.

Both books reference the 'draw layer' and 'insert table' buttons, but no matter what i do, the buttons are greyed out, and i get the message '......(disabled in layout view)'.

Can anyone help, as this seems pretty fundamental to using DW, and I'm completely stuck.

many thanks
