Non-trival template use

Question

Hello
My page design has all the components in the cells of a
table. I am designing my menus/sub-menu in FW. The changing body of
each page is in all the sections of the table below the row with
the menus. I would like to lock all the sections of the table above
where the content becomes variable and use the wonderful template
ability to update all subscribed pages. The problem is even though
I can change the entire page into a template, I cant get it to make
editable the sections I want. I says "not repeating region" or asks
what tag attribute I want to make editable. What I want is the
entire section of the table, the <tr> & <td> down
to the end of the page to be fully editable. I cant see how it can
be done.
I have simulated templates using a master sub-page design
that all the pages uses, however of course this is explicit and any
change makes me change each and every link in all the pages. This
is the reason for templates, I just cant get around their
restriction. Any ideas?
