Applying the Template

 

Double-click on 01.html in your Site Window

 

Notice that the browser offset is a problem... or is it?

 

Navigate to Modify > Templates > Apply Template to Page...

 

The Select Template dialog box opens

Make sure the Update box IS checked

 

Select your template

 

And two things happen

(The second is that your title has been obliterated)

 

Select the text: image

 

Press Delete

 

Give your page a descriptive name (you can do this later if you want)

Save then close the file

 

Double-click on 02.html and repeat the process

 

You could repeat the process for every page (if you're a glutton for punishment)

Or, you could click once on 03.html

 

Shift-click on 12.html to select the rest of the files

Command-Delete will instruct Dreamweaver to trash the files

 

Trust me, you really want to do this

 

Double-click on 02.html again

 

Shift-Command-S to Save As...

 

Dreamweaver politely highlights the name for you

(The 03.html file shouldn't appear in your dialog box)

 

Type: 03 and hit Return

 

Shift-Command-S to Save As...

Type 04 and hit Return

 

Are you getting the idea?

 

After a few more Shift-Command-S's you'll have templates applied to all your pages

 

Not too bad, eh? Now that all your templates have been applied you're ready to optimize your Photoshop files for the Web
