How to Lock the Page Layout in Dreamweaver
You can lock the page layout in Adobe Dreamweaver to preserve the layout once you have perfected the design of your web page. First, save the page layout file as a Dreamweaver template, then lock each of the page layout elements to make editable regions non-editable. Resave the locked page layout file, with or without content, in the Dreamweaver template format. You can reuse the template as a starting point for creating Web pages with the same or a similar format.
