How to change text + links in footer of existing template

Hello,
I need to change the text and links on the template footer that goes to all TABs. (Home, Articles, About Bluemont, BCA, Contact Us).The file is named NavigationBlank.dwt."
This footerwas created to link visitors to our "join or contribute" page on another site. Now I want to stop using that external site and build the capacity to take memberships within the BluemontVA.org site itself. However the template footer can't be changed so easily as text on a page.
I am webmaster for a local nonprofit (web address =  www.BluemontVA.org), but work on a website I inherited. It is a wonderful design, but I don't fully understand it. I have not worked with templates before.
I have read O'Reilly on "Adding a basic editable region"  in a template, but need further help.
A couple questions worry me:
How much damage may I have done already by trying? For example, I do seem to have removed the old text/links and added a new text message on the NavigationBlank.dwt page -- but these changes do not show up on the other TAB pages.
Also, when I place the cursor n the design side  it no longer tracks to the corresponding spot on the code view. (the cursor shows up in code view way above where it is supposed to be by the text). This is true for the home page and also for several pages I took a look at.
Can I follow instructions to change the template from any of the pages on which it appears? Or do I have to be at NavigationBlank.dwt?
Thanks for any help or advice you can provide.

I'm confused.
Working With Dreamweaver Templates (.dwt files).
PART 1
    1. Create a page with all the sitewide elements (common header, footer, sidebar,  CSS styles, etc..) that you will need for your project.   This requires some careful pre-planning even for small web sites.
   2. Validate your code & test this prototype page in all major browsers. 
   3. When you're completely satisfied with the page layout, SaveAs Template.   DW will save this as a .dwt file in a site folder called Templates.
   4. DW will ask you to add Editable Regions for stuff that will change from page to page.   Do this and SAVE.
   5. Close your Template.dwt file.
PART 2
   1. File > New Page > from Template.  Select the template you wish to use.  Hit OK.
   2. This is a child page.  An exact duplicate of your Template however you can only edit content within editable regions.  Everything else is locked.
   3. SaveAs index.html (your home page) or some-other-filename.html.
PART 3
   Repeat PART 2 for each additional site page required.
PART 4
    1. Open your main TEMPLATE file and add a navigation menu with links to your site pages.  Do not put this into an Editable Region!  If you do it won't show up on child pages.
   2. SAVE.
   3. DW will ask if you want to populate changes to child pages.  Hit yes.
   4. Publish all site pages to your server.
PART 5
   If you should ever need to edit your TEMPLATE .dwt file, Repeat PART 4.

  • How to change text in PDF doc. which is a musical score

    Hello,
    I'm new here, so please excuse me if I do or say something I shouldn't.
    I need to change the words in a musical score because the font is too small. OCR recognition doesn"t work because there are illustrations that are different from images or text... Is there a way to get in there and make the changes I need to do?
    Any help greatly appreciated.

  • How to change the header and footer in the Section Breaks Next Page using OpenXML?

    I have a word document file in which I added a Section Break of Next Page, now I want to change the header and footer of that page.

  • Change text "link" color only in Spry Tab content area

    I need to have multiple text link colors in my site for light
    and dark background colors. The only regions in my site that have a
    white background are in the Spry Tab Panel content area. I can't
    figure out how to change the text color for text links in the spry
    content only. I tried to add a:link ..etc... to the style sheet,
    but it did not effect anything
    (I also need to clean my style sheet (s). But that comes
    next.

  • How to change text in header of ADF Swing JTable?

    I need to change texts in ADF Swing JTable header.
    any clue?
    thanks
    Branislav

    Hi,
    how do you need to change it? Dynamically or static. If static then - assuming ADF BC is the underlying model - you can set the label hint to override the default column naming. If not using BC, you can set the label in the ADF binding as well.

  • How to change Text to Number in Excel 2013

    Hi,
    I imported and parsed a large CSV file (75000 rows) with 4 columns as numbers. They arrive in Excel as text with a "." as decimal separator. In Excel options, I set the decimal separator to "." but data remains as text. I could edit and
    enter each cell to convert it as number but I have 4 x 75000 cells...
    Any idea ?

  • Documaker : how to change text by count during overflow

    Hi Experts,
    Please help me...
    I want to change a text in a section by overflow count.
    Summary that I have set are as follows.
    1. FormA (contains Subform1)
    2. Subform1 (contains Subform2)
    3. Subform2
    Subform1 on FormA is setting the overflow with the trigger by the XML.
    Search Mask (counter) : !/xxx/data/Repeats/Repeat
    Subform2 on Subform1 is setting that always repeat 3 times.
    Reference :
    Documaker : How to set the overflow repeated 3 times always.
    I created DAL scripts as follows.
    1) To setgvm CTR.
    ---> Section_HEADER on Subform1 has a field that setting this script.
    2) To return GVM(CTR).
    ---> Section_TEXT on Subform2 has a field that setting this script.
    3) To increment GVM(CTR) by 1.
    ---> Section_TEXT on Subform2 has a field that setting this script.
    This counter has been running without any problems.
    I tried to set as follows.
    4) To change text by GVM(CTR)-1.
    if havegvm('ctr',1)
    varctr = gvm('ctr',1)
    if varctr-1 = 1
    return("A")
    else if varctr-1 = 2
    return("B")
    else
    return("C")
    end
    else
    return("")
    end
    ---> I placed a field (call this "OUTPUT_TEXT") that is set this script in Section_TEXT on Subform2.
    This setting is working.
    BUT, I want to output the Double-byte characters at OUTPUT_TEXT field.
    I can not input the Double-byte characters in DAL Script. (If I input, DMStudio was shut down...)
    By placing 3 text areas in Section_TEXT, I thought of setting the trigger switch by count of overflow, but I could not set.
    By count of overflow, is there any other ways to solve this problem?
    Thanks,

    Sorry, I resolved this...
    I created 3 triggers and set it for 3 text area.
    A trigger is as follows for *1* text area.
    if havegvm('ctr',1)
    varctr = gvm('ctr',1)
    if varctr = *1*
    return(1)
    end
    else
    return(1)
    end
    return(0)
    And, I moved the increasing count field to most right position in Section_TEXT.
    +3) To increment GVM(CTR) by 1.+
    ---> Section_TEXT on Subform2 has a field that setting this script.
    It is able to switch text areas by count.
    Thanks,
