GoLive to Dreamweaver_Changeover question

Hi,
I am in the process of changing from Adobe GoLive to Macromedia
Dreamweaver. I have a website under constant development for an organization
and I am having a problem finding out how to get sidebars and pages already
constructed in GoLive to update automatically in Dreamweaver..

What I want, is to be able to create sidebars and/or templates for pages so
that they will update throughout the whole website whenever I make any
changes to them, not just in the new pages added with Dreamweaver..

In GoLive I use "Components" for sidebars and "Stationery" for page
templates, which is the equivalent of "Library" (sidebars) and "Templates"
in Dreamweaver.

I have dragged from GoLive "Components" to D'weaver "Library", but the
Library items won't update pages already made in GL. I have made new Library
items from existing pages, but same problem.

The same with "Stationary" to "Templates".

Does anyone know how I can make updates throughout the system in Dreamweaver
without having to revert to GL?

I thank you in hope.

This is the disadvantage of using proprietary tools. My recommendation,
which isn't what you want to hear, is to implement your sidebars and
menus using home-brewed PHP or ASP code.

Or plain vanilla SSI even - with well seasoned CSS, of course!
