Cant open starter templates on Dreamweaver CC 2014 1.1

Hi.
when i try to open a new document and choose starter templates
I keep getting this message
"you must specify the external style sheet that contains the css for this layout"
how do I open these starter templates what do I need to do?
Using a mac with Yosemite o/s ..creative cloud subscriber...
any help greatly appreciated

Hide how exactly?
Do you mean you want to use FGLayouts in 2014.1 with Design View?
Open your Fluid Grid CSS file and add an X as shown below. This will trick DW into thinking it's a normal layout so you can use Design View, spell check, copy & paste text, etc...
    Dreamweaver Fluid Grid Properties
    dw-num-cols-mobile:     X 4;
    dw-num-cols-tablet:        8;
    dw-num-cols-desktop:    12;
    dw-gutter-percentage:    25;

Templates from Dreamweaver used in frontpage

I just finished making a website for a client. One of the things he wants is to be able to edit it himself, including the spry menu I put in. The thing is, he uses Frontpage. I was wondering if it's going to be possible for him to just open the template I made in Dreamweaver in Frontpage and he'll be able to make changes sitewide? Or is there a conversion I can do?

thanks patrick..... thats good to know.
altho essentially the client wouldnt need to open the motion project again once delivered ( we would be delivering a template file to be used only in FCP 6.0.2)
I presume that the template file could be imported into FCP 6 with no problems - and that the updates to motion wouldnt affect the template cause that is a standalone file? and once exported would bake in any shaodws/reflection etc.
essentially the question is - will motion templates exported from motion 4 work on FCP 6.0.2 when there is an outdated copy of motion on the machine or possible even no motion at all.
Has FCP 7 had any update or improvements that would mean that we could use these master templates here on FCP 7 and then we deliver it and everything goes 'error' when the bbc attempt to load it onto their older fcp!

Missing templates in Dreamweaver CC

I am in classes for Web Page Design, which comes with the Dreamweaver software. I have not received the software from my school yet, so I began using the Adobe Creative Cloud. My problem is, in Dreamweaver CC, I am missing a template I need. I need the 2 column fixed, left sidebar template that does not show up in my template list.
How can I get the Dreamweaver templates into Dreamweaver CC?

When you go through the document you will see <header> and <footer>. Remove the whole element between the opening and the closing tags as in
<header>
<a href="#"><img src="" alt="Insert Logo Here" width="180" height="90" id="Insert_logo" style="background-color: #C6D580; display:block;" /></a>
</header>
and
<footer>
<p>This footer contains the declaration position:relative; to give Internet Explorer 6 hasLayout for the footer and cause it to clear correctly. If you're not required to support IE6, you may remove it.</p>
<address>
    Address Content
</address>
</footer>
After having done that, view the result in a browser and you will notice that you have lost the background colour of the article classed as content. To fix that, add a background to content (near line 67) as in
.content {
    padding: 10px 0;
    width: 780px;
    float: right;
    background: #FFFFFF;

PLEASE HELP - Problem with 2 column fixed template in Dreamweaver CS3

I am trying to create a website using the 2 column fixed, right sidebar, header and footer html template in Dreamweaver CS3. I tried putting a picture in the right side bar as well as with in the main content or left portion of the page, and neither picture is showing up when I view it in any of the browsers I'm using.
I've made some minor changes in colors and sizing, but other than that no other changes. The pic I put in for the header is showing up just fine though.
Any help or advice to solve this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Here is the base Dreamweaver code including the pic references that I'm trying to show on either side - when the browser opens, it only shows a blank space where the pics should be... let me know what you think. Thanks!!

Viewing new template in dreamweaver cs3 reverst to front page ??

When i save a new template in Dreamweaver CS3 and then try to preview in IExploer it asks me "do you wnat to open or save this file? when i select either it reverst to my old MS Front Page editor

From their website:
" Adobe Flash (version 8 or higher) is required to edit the

Do you own Flash? Are you familliar with action scripts? If
not, then you
probably want to start with a plain html template and learn
how to code html

Hi,
Interop is not supported on a Server or with in a services.
But if you want to this, you have to set up the Environment. I follow this Guideline with my Word and I'm able to start Word on a Server.
1) Goto Control panel -> Administrative Tools -> Component Services
2) Expand Tree by clicking on Component Services -> Computers -> My Computer -> DCOM Config
3) Search CLSId 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 (which is for Word 97-2003 application)
4) By selecting 00020906-0000-0000-C000-000000000046 this CLSId now right click on Properties
5) In the Propeties area, click on Security TAB
6) Select Customize option from all (Launch and Activations Permissions, Access Pemissions, Configuration Permissions)
7) Take the User of the Services and Allow all permissions for this user
8) Go to Identity TAB in the same properties area, select option as a This user and then add username (the user must be administrator of this machine) and password. Click on Apply, Ok
Locale Profile: True
9) Refresh Component Services and check your application is working fine or not.
10) set Folder, if not present:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\config\systemprofile\Desktop

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

I have just updated to Pages 5.1 and now the templares which I have saved do not displat the header and footer which they were saved with in the previous version. How can I have the header and footer included when I open a template?

That is becuase Pages 5.1 has numerous unnounced surprises for the unwary user. Among the surprises:
- it strips out images from headers and footers without warning
- it strips out bookmarks without wanring (yes, all those bookamrks you laboriously put into a document: poof! Gone.)
- it strips out alternating left/right margins, without warning.
There are many more suprises, as you'll see from glancing through these discussions. They fall into two main categories: things that are present in version 4.3 but that are missing in 5.1, things like
-mail merge
-meaningful Applescript/Services support
-non-contiguous text selection
-ability to set defaul zoom
-ability to see comments while editing
-ability to print comments
-ability to read RTF files
-ability to drag in hyperlinked ted from a browser
These about about 90 other features are gone.
Then there are the bugs. Hyperlinks do not reliably export to a PDF file any longer. There have been multiple problems with printing report. Some fonts place stray characters in the headers. Many reports of the program crashing, courrupting files, etc.
Fortunately for you, the previous version of Pages is still on your system. Export any documents you may have created or edited with Pages 5.1 (another great surprise: files created with version 5.1 cannot be read by any previous version of Pages: not just 4.3 but even 5.01!). Then trash 5.1 and use 4.3 until (unless?) it is stable and has a reasonably robust feature set.

Change Default for Open New Template File In Adobe Illustrator

How can I change the default folder when trying to "Open From Template".
When I use the open from template it defaults to the template folder in the program folders.
I want to change the default folder to a different location.
Adobe Illustrator CS3 13.0.2

Here's how to have your templates available in the "File New From Template" in Adobe Illustrator for Windows.
What you need to have
Administrator access to your machine.
What you need to know
The default directory for Adobe Illustrator templates is here (for CS5.1)
C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
The default Windows security doesn't allow shortcuts to be created directly under that directory.
You can, however, create the shortcut indirectly!
What you need to do
In Summary
Create one (or multiple) folder shortcut(s) in the default Illustrator template directory.
In Detail
Open Illustrator
Select File -> New From Template
Drop down the "Look in" drop-down, note the directory:C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CS5.1\Cool Extras\en_US\Templates
Open a Windows Explorer, and navigate to that directory
Open another Windows Explorer, and navigate to the directory where you keep your templates.
Right-click-drag your folder from the second Explorer (your directory) to the first Explorer (default templates) and drop.
Select "Create shortcut" from the right-click popup menu that appears when you "drop" (release the mouse button).
Windows will display a message "Shortcut cannot be created here, do you want to create it on the desktop".
Select Yes.
Move the directory shortcut to the Illustrator to the first Explorer (default templates directory)
Windows will ask for Administrator permissions.
Select Yes.
You can right-click on the template shortcut and rename it without the " - Shortcut" suffix; you'll have to grant Administrator permissions for that as well.
After completing these steps, your template shortcut will appear properly and you can select it. Happy designing!

CSS Template in Dreamweaver, cannot make flash(swf) show ???

Hi all,
I'm quite new at using dreamweaver, have been using GoLive
some before and I have got a time consuming problem:
To try to get a hang of CSS page designs I've used the Page
Design (CSS) Halo Right nav that comes with DW8.
I've learnt pretty much how it works BUT, I cannot make a
flash file visible when inserted to the page design ????
It does not show if I insert it to an existing div tag or if
I insert it in a new layer. What am I doing wrong ?
(same goes for images)
Need help quickly.
Thanks!

This is one of the several weird problems with the HALO
layout.

Can't open PDF's in Dreamweaver

I am unable to open PDF files from Dreamweaver, however I can access a PDF from my share drive. I am using the Microsoft Office 7 Operating System, CS6 DreamWeaver and Adobe Acrobat X Pro. I can map to the links and preview. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks, Karen

I am posting a PDF event flyer on the website, like I have done for the past five years. :-) On Dreamweaver, I have a list of site files that are PDF documents. When I receive an flyer update, I check to view that it is the revised document by double clicking the PDF file and I review the content. I am unable to view the PDF file hosted on the CS6 version of Dreamweaver, however I have been able to execute in previous versions. I can view the PDF via the browser for the CS6 version. Is it by design that I am unable to open a PDF document, when having Acrobat installed, while using CS6 Dreamweaver?

Open iweb files in dreamweaver

Hi! I have read so many forums about this topic. The solution everyone seems to have is to publish your iweb files to a folder and then open index.html through dreamweaver. I can open the file, however, it only displays a code and the file size is only 4kb. I know that my site is way larger than that, so I'm thinking i'm opening it incorrectly or something. So if anyone knows and could give me fool proof step by step "for dummies" directions, that would be awesome!!

iWeb's index.html files don't have any content. Open the other .html files which you find in the sitename folder.

How Do I Import A Photoshop CS4 Template into Dreamweaver CS4

Ok. Here's the deal, my friend and I spent alot of time working in Photoshop to come up with a nice template. He's even done all the coding to animate the buttons for standard, hover over, and click and all that. It's really cool, the buttons slide back and "lock" into place dependent upon which page you're on. However, I want to take all of that information and plug it into my website without loosing the button functionality. Unfortunately, every time I try to put the photoshop web template into Dreamweaver, it always converts it into an image. So, how do I add my complete photoshop web template and all it's functionality into Dreamweaver?

I'm afraid Photoshop is a graphics program ill suited for generating good HTML and CSS code. Use Photoshop to create your images only. Use DW to build your HTML, CSS and menus.
Have a look at this tutorial:

When using a template the 'Save As' opens the templates folder to save to, not the last used folder

I used to open a file from the templates folder,
add details then click 'Save As' to save it the folder I was using.
Now I have downloaded Fireworks CS6 it always opens the 'Templates' folder when I click 'Save As'
I don't want to make a new template each time,
I want it to open the folder I was last using.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I can't get it to open the folder I was last using whan I click 'Save As',
which is what it did before when I was using Fireworks CS5.
Are there any Settings to change this?
Of course I can click 'Recent Places' but it was easier before when the right folder to save to just came up first time.

Saved files seem to remember their last saved location. So if you create a new file based on a Template, the first time you choose Save As, the location of the source (template) file will appear. However, once you've saved the file to a new location, that new location should become the new default for any subsequent iterations of that file.
New files (not created from a template) pick up the location of the last saved file.
All this is to say, the file saving issue you're experiencing should only be a problem the first time you save a file based on a template. Every time you open that file afterward, it should default to its current folder location. But yes, every time you create a file based on a template, the default location will be the Templates folder. If this feels like a big problem, I believe you have the option of opening a template file from any location... so you could copy or move the template into a more desireable folder location, and create your new file(s) based on the template in that location.
Hope this gives you some ideas!

Problems when Creating Pages from Templates in Dreamweaver 8

When creating new pages from templates in Dreamweaver 8(Ver
8.0.2). The full path for images is not created
i.e. in template the code is <img src="main_page_logo.png"
width="814" height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
In the new file the code should be :-
<img src="../../Templates/main_page_logo.png" width="814"
height="172" longdesc="Main Page Logo" />
but only :-
<img src="main_page_logo.png" width="814" height="172"
longdesc="Main Page Logo" /> is in the code.
but this does work in Version 8.0.
Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem

> Does anyone know of a setting or fix for this problem
It was regarded as a bug in previous versions, and was fixed
in the 8.0.2
release. In normal circumstances, ALL links in a template
file must be
relative to the template document, not relative to where you
intend to save
the child pages. Thus, there would be no way to have a link
in your
template document like the first one you show, e.g.,
<img src="whatever.png"....
*unless* the file was actually in the Templates folder (a bad
idea).
In 8.0.2, you can set your PREFERENCES for the Templates
category to NOT
MANAGE relative links. Be aware that this may have unintended
consequences
for you - specifically regarding other relative links in your
site.
