You will need to search for the configuration configuration folder of the version of your dreamweaver. For example: if you are using version CS6, "c:\users[computer name]\appdata\roaming\adobe\dreamweaver cs6\en-us\configuration\menus\menus.xml"

You will now need to open the menu.xml file using either notepad or wordpad or any text editor then search for zencoding

change

to

Save the file and restart your dreamweaver.

try div#name and it should give you

I hope this works for you.

Edit (Dreamweaver on Mac) -> Preferences, File Types/Editors

Click the plus (+) button on the left-hand list. Enter ".less" without quotes. With the .less entry selected, click the plus (+) button on the right-hand list, browse to and select the application that you want to open .less files with. Then click OK to apply the changes. Then double click a .less file in the files panel and it will open up with the specified application.

Re-reading the question, I can see that maybe it is ambiguously asking how to add .less files as an editable file type so that Dreamweaver can edit the file. If so, then follow the steps in this Adobe technote: http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/164/tn_16410.html
