    I can add/edit text in Code | Split | Design/Live view, without any trouble.

    Are you working within a child page spawned from a Dreamweaver Template (.dwt) file?  If yes, only text within an editable region can be edited.  Everything else is locked or grayed out.  

     

    To edit text outside an editable region, switch to the main Template.dwt file. Save changes and populate them to child pages based on that template.   Upload all child pages to your remote server.
