How to Open a Template in Dreamweaver CS5

Adobe Dreamweaver is a website management and editing program that supports Web page templates. Template files for use in Adobe Dreamweaver are typically in the ".dwt" file format and, when open, will display "<<TEMPLATE>>" in the program title bar. You can create Dreamweaver templates by saving a Web page as a template file or you can download template files from the Internet. Opening a template in Dreamweaver CS5 is similar to how you open templates in earlier versions of Dreamweaver.

Instructions

1. Launch the Adobe Dreamweaver program.

5. Click the "Edit" button at the bottom of the "Assets" pane.
