Hi,

Stick at it, it takes time, what are you have problems with?

Well two tutorials I would recommend would be this one which teaches about slicing the page in photoshop and exporting it as html and then this one which follows on from the first tutorial and teaches you how to export a web layout made in Photoshop and build an editable website layout in Dreamweaver.
While this is far from being the "ideal" way to layout a website it is what you seem to be wanting to get started in Dreamweaver.

Are you slicing a template for coding? If you are what you need to remember is that most of a template you don't need. You can repeat a process. If you download TeamViewer 4 I will let you watch me slice a template on my PC.

Its easy once you have done it once or twice.

PM me if you need more help. I've sliced thousands of templates up for coding OK.;)
