Create new page from template

I created a page, and saved it as a template. I want to create a new page from
the template (creating more pages for the same website). When I select file >
new > page from template, the list contains <no sites>.

How do I get the page and / or template I already created to be in a "site" so
it shows up on the list. Couldn't find this in the help file.

Thanks

Thanks for responding Alan.

By default it suggests I save as template in the site folder I created, which
contains the html and css files, as well as the images and another folder named
_notes. I created another template file (dwt) and saved it to a folder I named
"templates" inside the site folder.

After this I closed and reopened DW and the list is still empty.

I searched my system for folders named templates, and there are none
associated with DW.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

So where is the correct location?

I created the folder for this site when I first created the html page. This is
the folder I mentioned. This site folder was created inside the Documents
folder, I believe by default.

As I mentioned, on the first try, I just let it save the template to this same
site folder, which is what it suggested by default, and it has been there ever
since.

I only created my own "templates" folder as an experiment after your first
suggestion. I have now renamed it "Templates" (upper case T) and the template
is still not found with File > New> Page from Template.

Sorry I am not sure if I understand exactly what you mean by "A folder in the
root of the "local site folder"". Is this the same as or different from the
site folder I created and saved the html, css, and image files to? (which is in
Documents) If different, where can I find it?

I searched my system for ALL folders named Templates, and found none that I
believe could be associated with DW. Is this in appdata or hidden location?

Many Thanks

Thank you, this process brought up a dialogue to "define this as a site", which it had not been before. Now the template is available.
