I have built a new template which I would like to apply to all the pages in my
site (150 pages) to replace the old template.

Can I do this automatically, or do I have to apply the new template manually
to each page?

I am using DW MX v6.0.

Depends , you can replays old images with new images and use same name so all
150 just use the new images. Thats first way, second it depends if you are
using some other template that Macromedia Made , i am not sure how can u change
it but there is a solution . Other wise you shouldn?t make a 150 pages not even
using any kind of PHP system .

You've almost got it. Actually, a template is a way for you to change parts of
your pages, but only have to do it once instead of opening each individual
page, making the changes then saving the changes then closing the page then
opening the next page.
For instance, say you create a template with 4 regions and one is editable.
The editable region is where you would have each page's unique content (say
it's a band web site; the editable region for the discography page would have
their albums, the editable region for the bio page would have background
information on the members, etc). The other regions would have the logo and
navigation and maybe something else. Say you want to change the logo or add
another page which would mean updating the navigation. Instead of opening each
page, you would open the template, make the changes on that, save it (answer
"yes" when DW asks if you would like to apply the changes to all attached
pages) and you're done. Then all you have to do is upload the pages.

I have created a page and saved it as a temple. Now I want to go about creating
all the sub-pages (those where the content in the editable region has been
chanced) When saving this modified page should i choose FILE | SAVE AS or FILE
| SAVE ?
If FILE | SAVE, a dialogue box opens asking me to give that subtemplate a
name. I dont see the signifacance of this seeing as dreamweaver only stores
one .dwt file for me to access. I thus have no access to the modified template
page and dont know how to upload it to my server...

thx!!
