Why won't Contribute display .dwt template?

[barbarelladesign]

:frown;

my Template file: Diary.dwt is in place in the template folder but the error
message I get on browsing to the file is thus:

This file cannot be displayed in the Contribute web browser.
You may be able to edit this type of file with another application? edit your
Contribute preferences

What have I done wrong - is there something I need to be doing in Dreamweaver
to make this work?

BTW I am working in the trial 30-day version of Contribute - is this an issue?

You use the Dreamweaver Template-file to create new files in Contribute.
Contribute is not supposed to be able to edit these templates. That's the whole
idea of the program: you create a website in Dreamwevaer that can be edited
with Contribute.

When you want a new page based on your Dreamweaver-template: in the menu pick
File, New, and select your template.
