DreamWeaver gurus, I need your help! Basically I want to apply a template to a page without erasing what's in editable regions already on that page...
I have a simple .html page...
on this page I have title, meta, h1 tag text, and another body text...
what I want to do is to apply a template to this page but when I do so I want all these items inside to be untouched... so when I apply my template basically I am applying all uneditable regions like my desing but what's already on this page inside editable regions stays as it was...
Example
super.html file
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="doctitle" -->
<title>SUPER DUPER</title>
<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="h1text" -->I am super<!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
<!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="maintext" -->Thanks for asking!</title><!-- InstanceEndEditable -->
so in my template besides all other stuff I have these editable regions
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="doctitle" --><!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="h1text" --><!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
<!-- TemplateBeginEditable name="maintext" --><!-- TemplateEndEditable -->
But for some reason, why I apply template to the page, all my texts like "I am super" is gone from editable regions...
I feel like I am loosing my mind here and that the solution is right on the surface... Does this make any sense?

Also,
I have many pages that already have editable regions and text in those
editable regions so creating new pages from template and hand copying
content page-by-page is not the best solution.
