To Do the following
If there are no designer notes associated with a template, the Print
designer notes button is disabled.
Using templates
When you start a document from a template by using the File New from template command, Corel DESIGNER formats the page according
to the page layout settings in the template and then loads all objects and template’s styles into the new document. With this method, you
can search and browse for templates.
If you want to use only the styles from a template, you can create a blank document by using the File Open command.
You can also import styles from a template into a document at any time.
To start a document from a template
1
Click File New from template.
2 Search or browse for templates.
3 Choose a template from the Templates list.
4 Click Open.
For information about searching for templates, see “To search for templates” on page 464.
You can also start a document from a template by clicking File Open, locating the template, double-clicking it, and enabling the
New from template check box in the Open dialog box. If you want to use only the template’s styles, disable the With contents
check box.
To import styles from a template into a document
1
Click Window Object styles.
2
In the Object styles docker, open the Import, export, or save defaults flyout, and then click the Import style sheet button .
3 Locate the folder where the template is stored.
4 Click the template that contains the styles that you want to load.
5 Click Open.
Only the template styles are imported. Page layout settings and objects saved with the template are ignored. The attributes of existing
objects are maintained.
Creating templates
If the preset templates do not meet your needs, you can create your own templates, based on documents that you often use. For example, if
you regularly put together a newsletter, you can save the page layout settings and styles to a template.
When you save a template, Corel DESIGNER allows you to add reference information, such as pagination, folds, category, industry, and other
important notes. Although adding template information is optional, doing so makes it easier to organize and locate templates later on. For
example, adding descriptive notes to a template lets you subsequently search for that template by entering text from the notes.
