I have a page in XHTML which I am trying to save as a template in Dreamweaver 2004 MX. It's never had a template applied to it before because I am just figuring out how to work them!
I have followed the instructions in Dreamweaver help to the word, but every time I try to save as a template I get "There is an error at line 3, column 7 (absolute position 174) of C: [etc] :Unbalanced #EndEditable tag." This is before I have even created any editable regions.
I tried saving the template anyway and all the tags seem to be balanced ie they begin and end as you would expect. (It does let me save as a template despite the warning).
I have used Dreamweaver's Clean Up XHTML function and there don't seem to be any errors in the code - at least it's not picking anything up...
I have been through the html tags manually to double check and I can't see anything out of place...
If I try to apply the template to a page, the error message appears again and the template is not applied.
Anyone got any ideas?
Here's the template page code:

<h2>Staff Notation </h2>
<p>
Music is written down in a number of different ways around the world. In the West, most instruments use a method called <strong>staff notation</strong>. </p>
<p>The staff (or <strong>stave</strong>, as it’s sometimes called) is made up of 5 horizontal lines:</p>

<p>Notes are placed on the lines: </p>

<p><img src="../grade1/images/1/1-staff_and_notes_clip_image006.jpg" alt="Notes are placed in spaces" width="144" height="61" /></p>
<br/>
<br/>
<p>Notes can have black or white heads. (See <a href="../grade1/lessons/4_time_names_notes.html">Lesson 4 - Time Names of Notes </a>for more on this.) </p>
<br/>
<h2><a name="gclef" id="gclef"></a>The Treble Clef </h2>
<p>We always put a <strong>clef</strong> at the beginning of the staff. A clef is a symbol which identifies one note by name. We can work out all the other notes from this one. </p>
<p> The most common clef is the <strong>treble clef</strong>, which looks like this:<img src="../grade1/images/1/1-staff_and_notes_clip_image008.jpg" alt="Treble clef" width="41" height="68" /></p>
<br/>
<p>The treble clef tells us where the we should write the note G. We draw the treble clef so that the curly bit in the middle forms a sort of circle around one line on the staff- a note written on this line is a G.</p>

<h2><a name="names" id="names"></a>Letter Names </h2>
<p>We use the letter names A-G (always written in <strong>capital </strong>letters) to identify notes. After G, the next note is A, (because we start the sequence again). </p>
