can I make text string an editable region?

[katties]

I built a table in Dreamweaver and in my template I'd like to give the user possibility to update it but without changing the formatting. I'm quite new to Dreamweaver, but I know I can make tags editable, however, I'm a bit perplexed here. Should I select every <th></th> and <td></td> lines and make each editable assigning unique names, or can I just select the values that are in the tags, e.g <th>Quantity</th> I select 'Quantity' (that way I could be sure nobody can change the styles?...) Can anyone help please...?
