Using a page template to create new pages


    You can use a variety of methods to create new pages from a page template. Depending on the method you use, GoLive may open the new page in an untitled.html document window or name the file based on the name of the template (for example, New from Template1.html).

    Tip iconPage templates with locked and editable regions can be used interchangeably with Macromedia Dreamweaver to create new pages either in Dreamweaver or GoLive.

To create a new page using a page template:

    Do one of the following:

    • Choose File > New Special > Page From Template.
    • In the Site Extras set in the Objects palette, choose Templates from the pop-up menu at the bottom of the palette. Then drag the template's icon from the Objects palette into an empty document window or the Files tab in the site window, or onto a page in navigation view. (In navigation view, hold the template's icon over the page until a bar appears above, below, or at the side of the page, and then release the mouse.)
    • Double-click the template's icon in the Site Extras set in the Objects palette or the template file in the Extras tab in the site window, and click Create.
    • Drag the template file from the Extras tab to the Files tab in the site window and click Create.
    • Click in a blank document window and choose Template > Apply Template from the context menu. In the Select Template dialog box, select the page template and click Open.
    • Set a preference to use the template for all new pages by default, and then choose File > New Page or Site > New > Page. (See Setting preferences for opening pages.)
