Honestly, I recommend you learn some coding. It is generally a bad idea to try to put together any website without having a decent understanding of HTML and hopefully CSS. Fortunately, this isn't a very advanced science, and is relatively easy to learn, though it takes some work.
What you are describing sounds like frames, or iframes. Both type of frames are usually a terrible design choice. It is better to use server-side includes to include content into other content.
In PHP, this is done like this:
PHP Code:
<!--a bunch of html goes here-->
<?php include "path/to/file.php"; ?>
<!--a bunch more html goes here-->
Now, whatever you have at path/to/file.php will be included automatically where you have put it in the document flow. You can make a path to a single file from multiple files, then update it to have a site-wide effect.
Of course, PHP is not a requirement. A google search for server-side-includes will help you if you would prefer another language.
Dreamweaver does have a templating system that allows you to do this type of thing automatically, without a server language. Unfortunately, I have no idea how it works, since I've never used it. If you absolutely are mortified of doing any code, you may want to look into it, though I definitely recommend you look at my suggestion first.
