Moving Web Pages in MX 2004

I created a web page in the wrong folder
in my web site. Right now it is in the root folder.
I want to move it to a sub folder off the root.

However, all the relative paths to the images will
have to be changed if I move the web page. Currently
they are images/xxx.jpg, images/yyy.jpg, etc.

If I move the web page where it should be, the paths need to be
changed to ../images/xxx.jpg and ../images/yyy.jpg, etc.

Can Dreamweaver do this for me? I moved the page (cut and pasted)
to the correct folder, but all the image links were broken when I opened
it in Dreamweaver (of course). Is Dreamweaver smart enough to fix this
for me? I really don't want to change every image link on the page manually...

There is also the issue of links to this page from other pages,
but I don't want to expect too much from Dreamweaver.

Yes. Drag and drop it.

You should. This is a common operation - and the cut and past should have
worked too.

Outside of DW, move the page back where it was so all of the links will
be correct again. Check all the links to make sure, and check the other
pages that link to the page.

Now, open DW, recreate the site's cache (just for good measure), and
open the site window. Pick up and move the icon in the site widow that
represents the page you want to move. Once you have dropped it into the
new location, DW will ask you if you want all of the links updated. Say
yes. DW should remake the links within the page so that they are
adjusted to the page's new location, and adjust the links in any other
pages that point to this page.

Or...

Just open the page in DW and save it to the location where you want it
to be. DW will adjust all of the links for you.

Should have been: As before, outside of DW move the file back to its
original location, then

Just open the page in DW and save it to the location where you want it
