If I'm understanding you correctly, it sounds as if a GoLive template 
would do what you're trying to do. A template in GLCS enables you to 
identify editable areas and uneditable areas of a page. When you 
create a new page from the template, you can change only the center 
content area, if that's your variable spot. To edit the "uneditable" 
parts, you edit the template itself, for changes to your menus, 
headers, footers, etc.

I use this a lot. The instructions in GLCS help menu for this are great.

The suggestion to check with the GL talk group is a good one. I'm 
sure most would mention a template or component, too.
