Have you got any kind of FTP software? Filezilla is free.

If all the images are the same size, you can actually do it in a word processing program. Replace the urls for the images (you can host yours on imgur, or somewhere). The HTML image code will say "src:" at the beginning. Simply cut-and-paste the new image url. Some site use "site root" code for the images, which tells the browser to assume the domain for each image file is the same as the site is located on and adds the folder and file location, like so "/images/jahel.jpg." In that case, you'd have to replace it with a full url.

Help?

ETA: The site you're ripping probably has an associated CSS file that you need to copy and host on your own site, too. The link to that will need to be altered in your page HTML, too. If you don't do that, they may change the file on their server and you're page will be a collection of text and pictures in sequential order.

First off, understand that this is likely a copyright violation. Just be aware.

all i have is a domain off Go Daddy

If all you have is a domain, you will need to buy a hosting plan if you want your site to actually be on the internet.

What exactly is your element? You are a clusterfrick of different crazy ideas.

So just copy the text and upload with filezila?

You kind of need an idea of how websites actually work, directories and file paths and whatnot. If you want to actually learn this stuff, then forget Dreamweaver, Word, templates, and all that garbage. Just open up some html files in notepad and see what's there, and read some tutorials. If you just want to do exactly what you're asking (straight up copy a site with a couple changes), you're better off paying some kid to do it.
