Open a document that uses the template that you want to change. 2. Choose Modify?Templates?Open Attached Template as shown in Figure 4-11. The template opens. 3. Use Dreamweavers regular editing functions to modify the template as you would edit any page or template. For example, to modify the templates page properties, choose Modify? Page Properties. 4. Choose File?Save. The Update Template Files dialog box appears (refer to Figure 4-10). 5. Click the Update button to modify all the pages listed in the Update Template Files dialog box. Click the Dont Update button to leave these pages unchanged. If you chose Update, Dreamweaver automatically changes all the pages listed in the Update Template Files dialog box. Figure 4-10: You can update all the files created with a template from the Update Template Files dialog box. 102 Part II: Looking Like a Million (Even on a Budget) You can also apply changes to a template using the Update Pages option. To do so, you have to first open the template, and then make and save your changes without applying those changes to pages created with the template. Then anytime later, you can choose Modify?Templates?Update Pages to apply the update. Attaching and Detaching Templates You can apply a template to an existing page by attaching it, and you can remove a template from a page by detaching it. When you apply a template to an existing document, the content in the template is added to the content already in the document. If a template is already applied to the page, Dreamweaver attempts to match editable areas that have the same name in both templates and to insert the contents from the editable regions of the page into the editable regions in the new template. This happens automatically if all region names are the same. Remove or detach a template from a page if you want to ensure that changes to the original template dont affect the page created with the template. Detaching a template also unlocks all regions of a page, making it completely editable.
