I am just learning Dreamweaver, I have been a Frontpage girl for many years. But when I learned about Templates in Dreamweaver I became very excited.

I have read all about them, gone through the tutorials and the help menus. I created a template as per Dreamweavers instructions, made it a template, locked it and applied that template to many of my pages that just had body.

It was going very well, at first, the first few pages were flawless, but as I continued adding that template design to more pages, the Template began to change. The text changed sizes and fonts - for no good reason, and as I continued my work the flaws became larger and more proliferous.

The Template was locked, no changes could be made to it, so is this normal? Is there something I am missing? Can anyone help me understand this before I revert back to Frontpage? :confused:
Thanks

I would suggest you run one of your pages (with the template applied) through the HTML validator. It could be that there is a coding error in the template, such as an unclosed font tag.

are you sure you were working with the actual template file?

it should not lock...the only files that 'lock' are the html pages that you create based on the dwt file.

don't revert!
