template works in front page, not dreamweaver

    I bought a template here at DP. It turns out that when opening it in dreamweaver I do not see what I get. I looked at the code and it is really old style stone age coding. Is this why Dreamweaver cannot show it in design view ?
    The seller tells me that it can be edited with Front Page, but I cannot buy that just for this template. What should I do ?

    you could open it in frontpage, copy the code, and then paste into DW...DW should read it if it is HTML coded...try that and see if it works...DW as far as I know is backwards compatible...

    I can see and edit the code in DW. Its just that it is not showing in design view. I have never experienced this with any page/template before.
