Using standard templates
Templates can only be
accessed from diskette
and saved to the F
ddve as documents.
To save a document as
a template, you must
save to diskette.
When you select a template from the New/Open dialog box, the program
creates a new document containing the information in the template you
selected. All you do is fill in the information that is missing or change the
information of the place bolder text. Place holders are text that define the
type of entry in a location, such as ZIP CODE that you later replace with the
actual information you want.
• To use a template:
1. Start the program you want to use and insert the diskette labelled
Templates.
2. Select New/Open from the File menu. The New/Open dialog box appears.
3. Click on Template. A dialog lists available templates.
4. Select the template you want to use, scrolling the list ff necessary. A
description of the template, if available, appears in the Notes box.
5. Click on Use Template or press ENTER or double-click the highlighted
name. The program creates a copy of the template as a new, untitled
document.
Select the place holder text and type your text. The new text replaces the
place holder text.
Save the document if you want. Cbanges you make to the new document
do not affect the original template.
