template locks out meta tags

I'm using Dreamweaver MX 2004.

After I create a template for a site (with appropriate edit regions) , I
create a new page based on the template - put text & images in it etc etc - all
fine.

Problem is when I go to insert some meta tags (title, keywords, description
etc) as soon as I try to apply them to the page, a popup message says "Making
this change would require changing code that is locked by a template or a
translator. The change will be discarded"

Viewing the page in code, the entire Head region is greyed out ie not
editable. This has happened on a couple of sites I have built, but not on
others, yet I go through the same procedure to create templates and then pages
based on them.

I've tryed rebooting the computer, but get the same problem regardless - the
only way I can place meta tags is to place them in the template, trouble is I
don't want the same title, keywords etc for every page. I've tried placing meta
tags in the Template and then opening the page to change hte tag for that page,
but it is still locked out, the only place I can change them is in the Template.

can anyone advise me how to rectify this problem?
