Have managed to get it working - did a search on adobes website and found that i needed to edit both the extensions.txt & MMdocuments.xml inorder to view the tpl files in both code & design view. This is now working and I can see the table layout, but as you say no images - can this also be achieved? Was hoping that I could design & preview smarty templates as I have done with html ones?
