You need to learn some basic code in order to be able to do this. At
least enough to get a sense of what kinds of "containers" your editable
content will need, e.g., paragraphs <p></p>, divs, tables and their
cells, etc.
For a quick lesson, do this (relatively) simple tutorial:

To insert an editable region, you have to edit the original template. You can
only insert an editable region in code derived from a template if you put it
inside an editable region (in which case the original editable region
disappears), and it only has a meaning if you are saving the new file as a
derived template.
