FrontPage to Dreamweaver Walkthrough

How to go about the writing of such.

I have to create a small walkthrough on taking our oldest template that was for FrontPage and putting the content and navigation and titles into our new template for Dreamweaver that is done with web standards.

The main problem is the people that still have this old template are not all up on code and dreamweaver. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to write a walkthrough so that the people can clean up their content and put it into the new templates <p> tags and such easily.

Thank you for any help.

P.S. The site is like 140,000 pages so I can't do it all myself. (Though I wish I could)

Yuck.

If the templates are reasonably consistent in structure, I would be inclined to replace the parts that repeat - headers, footers and so on - in chunks.

So, an instruction like.

"Highlight everything from the first <table> tag to the closing </table> tag just after the image <img src="whatever.jpg">, delete it and replace with the code in file1.txt"

That sort of thing.
