New pages based upon a template not linking to the template

[RCDAWebMaster]

I'm running the CS6 version of Dreamweaver on a windows 7 PC.

I've created a new template for a site. I added editbable reagions and saved the file in the templates folder as a dwt file.

When I create a new page based upon this template, it does not create as expected. It's as if I created the file based upon the template and then detached it from the template. It does not lock code, does not have editable regions and does not update when I update the template. If I try to reattach the file to the template, it puts the entire page within the editable region of the template. I end up with the page within the page. I can then delete the inner page that is within the editable region and I now have what I expected.

Can someone help me understand why this function is not working? Do I need to reinstall DW,  reset it to out of the box defaults, or something different.

What is the exact method you are using to create the new pages from your .DWT file?

File menu --> New

Page from template --> Select site --> Select template --> Create.

I just noticed that "Update page when template changes" is not checked. I never noticed that before. I checked it and it kept the page linked to the template.

Thanks Jon.
