I'm thinking about changing the layout of my pages so that the content appears before all the navigation menus.  I'm new to Dreamweaver though, and I have been having problems when I change a template.  There always seems to be some glitch or some unexpected results in my child pages.  So any thoughts, tips, suggestions?  Is it possible to turn the organization of my templates (and nested templates) upside down without screwing all my pages up royally?

Thanks,
Ron

When you create a page based on a template, make sure you check the box that says update page when template changes.

I've found changing the template one step at a time and then checking affected pages is the safest bet, keeping a copy every step.

Hope this helps Smile
