Where to save downloaded templates?

Hi folks, I have been given a set of templates for Dreamweaver CS3. Where should I save them so they will be accessible (and pre-viewable) when going File/New?

Thanks in advance,

Jo

I opened Dreamweaver, hit F1, entered templates into the search field, and found the answer in seconds. I wonder why you haven't found the answer using the same method...

Where to save downloaded templates?

As you are clearly an unhelpful person, why are you hanging around a newsgroup that is supposed to give help?

Obviously if I'd found a listing under help that said ''where to save downloaded templates'' I'd have opened it. The fact that such a link doesn't exist should explain why I asked the question. I want to know where to save the templates so that when I click on File/New/Page from Template the templates will show up.

I look forward to an actual correct answer from the usually very helpful and pleasant members of this group.

Whoops I was going to send you the link that explained it but it looks like you got it figured out. And yes you are correct telling someone to search the help files is clearly unhelpful. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance to you.

John's advice is spot on.

Are the 'templates' you received, plain old vanila html files, or have they already been created as DW templates, in that they already include editable and non-editable regions and the file extension ends in dwt.

If they are already dwt files, then follow John's advice about how to set them up.

If they are NOT currently dwt files, you wil need to open up the html page document and save the page as a template

FILE%26gt;Save as Template

Be aware that you still need to define a DW site pointing to the folder that is holding all your template files.?If you have more than one template package - that is: will be creating more than one template - then you need to separate the folder, so that you have different folders containing all the separate files for each 'package'... if that makes sense?:

Each newly created template is saved to it's own separate Templates folder in the root of the folder structure of your files.

These may help when it comes to working with templates:

Thanks everyone for suggestions and links. I'll get started on some of the techniques suggested ...
