Creating a template in dreamweaver 8

Hi Sue,

I find the best way to create a template is to start a new page, then immediately File -> Save As Template... You will be alerted to the fact that your file does not contain any editable regions, but that's okay, you can add these after you've saved the template.

Once saved, create your page layout, and insert Editable Regions by placing the cursor at the appropriate place, then going to Insert -> Template Objects -> Editable Region (or Control+Alt+V). Give your editable region a name (eg. 'maincontent' or 'rightsidebar').

Save your template with File -> Save (or Control+S).

Then create a new file based on your template by going to File -> New. On the dialogue box that appears, flick to the Template tab, ensure the correct Site is selected, then double click on the template.

I hope this answers your question.

Regards, Rich
