You can create a template from an existing document (such as an HTML, Macromedia ColdFusion, or Microsoft Active Server Pages document) or you can create a template from a new, blank document.
The New Document dialog box (File >New) provides several options for creating new templates, and creating template-based pages. For information, see Working with the New Document dialog box.
Dreamweaver saves templates with the file extension .dwt. Templates are saved in a special Templates folder in the local root folder of the site. If the Templates folder does not already exist in the site, Dreamweaver automatically creates it when you save a new template.
Note: Do not move your templates out of the Templates folder, or put any non-template files in the Templates folder. Also, do not move the Templates folder out of your local root folder. Doing so causes errors in paths in the templates.
This should be the start of page 2
