Even better, <div> your menu in the template and link to a seperate HTML. When editing, you'll only have to do it once

You should use actual dreamweaver templates with editable regions. The body text of the pages would go in the editable region and when you update the template that has been applied to normal pages, it will update all of the links. Its fast and easy.
