Using guides with templates
When guides are added to a Dreamweaver template, all instances of the template inherit the guides. Guides in template
instances, however, are treated as editable regions, so users can modify them. Modified guides in template instances are
restored to their original location whenever the instance is updated with the master template.
You can also add your own guides to instances of a template. Guides added in this manner are not overwritten when
the template instance is updated with the master template.
