DW_CS5_newbie

Dear All,
I have recently jumped into the world of Webdesign. I am a complete NEWBIE with almost NO experience of webdesign. However, over the last few weeks i have been watching some tutorials on Dreamweaver CS5. I have come to a stage where I can (All in Dreamweaver) Setup a site locally, create the index.html, add additional pages with static content, work with divs as well as CSS. I have also been able to add and customise the Spry Menubar.
My problem is as follows: My proposed website is going to have 5 pages. 2 of these pages will have sub pages. On the home page, i have a header, body, footer. inside the header is the logo and the Spry Menubar.
The body has the content (Static - text and images) and the footer has the info (text) as required.
I have also created the other pages (About Us, Products, Contact Us...). Each one of them has their respective contents.
Where I am stuck is....How do i get the header from the index.html (which includes the logo as well as Spry menu) to be replicated across all my pages. I also want my footer to be common across all pages.
Do I have to re-build the header in every page?
Do I have to use some particular CSS?
DO I have to use templates?..not sure how to use them!
I am sure there is an easy way to do it in DW CS5..but I am really stuck.
Please help !
Regards
