Dreamweaver comes with
several professionally developed page layout and design element
files. You can use these sample files as starting points
for designing pages in your sites. When you create a document based
on a sample file, Dreamweaver creates a copy
of the file.
You can preview a sample file and read a brief
description of a document’s design elements in the New Document
dialog box. In the case of CSS style sheets, you can copy a predesigned
style sheet and apply it to your documents.
Note: If you create
a document based on a predefined frameset, only the frameset structure
is copied, not the frame contents; additionally, you must save each
frame file separately.
Select File > New.
In the New Document dialog box, select the Page From
Sample category.
In the Sample Folder column, select CSS Style Sheet,
Frameset, Starter Page (Theme) or Starter Page (Basic); then select
a sample file from the list on the right.
Click the Create button.
The new document opens in the Document window (Design view).
If you selected CSS Style Sheet, the CSS style sheet opens in Code
view.
Save the document (File > Save).
If the Copy Dependent Files dialog box appears, set the
options, and then click Copy to copy the assets to the selected
folder.
You can choose your own location for the dependent files
or use the default folder location Dreamweaver generates
(based on the sample file’s source name).
