Working with templates
A template is a collection of styles and page layout settings that govern the layout and appearance of a drawing. Templates are sometimes
referred to as “templets.”
You can use the preset templates provided with Corel DESIGNER, and you can create and use custom templates.
This section includes the following topics:
• “Searching for templates” (page 463)
• “Using templates” (page 465)
• “Creating templates” (page 465)
• “Editing templates” (page 466)
Searching for templates
Corel DESIGNER provides an easy way of finding templates.
Searching
You can search by the name, category, or reference information associated with a template. For example, if you type “contemporary” in the
text field, the application automatically filters out all files that do not match, and you see only the files that have the word “contemporary”
in the template name, category, or designer notes attached to the file.
By default, the application searches all locations that Instant Search (on Windows 7 and Windows 8) is configured to index. You can also
browse for templates in other locations, which Instant Search is not configured to index. For more information about configuring Instant
Search on Windows 7 and Windows 8, see the Windows Help.
You can cancel a search at any time.
Filtering search results
You can narrow the search results by using different criteria, such as document type (for example, brochure, flyer, newsletter, or postcard)
and industry (for example, hospitality or retail). You can choose to view only templates that you have created or all templates (the templates
included with Corel DESIGNER and provided by third-party designers, as well as templates that you have created).
