To create a template

Click File Save as template.
2 Type a name in the File name list box.
3 Locate the folder where you want to save the template.
4 Click Save.
5 In the Template properties dialog box, specify the options you want:
• Name — Assign a name to your template. This name will appear with the thumbnail in the Templates pane.
• Sided — Choose a pagination option.
• Folds — Choose a fold from the list, or choose Other and type the fold type in the text box next to the Folds list box.

If you click Cancel, you close the Template properties dialog box without saving the template.
If you save a template to a previous version of Corel DESIGNER (12.5 or earlier), you cannot add reference information.
The Designer notes text box supports HTML markup, so you can paste such content as graphics and hyperlinks. Graphics pasted
from an HTML file are referenced from their original location and are not embedded in the Corel DESIGNER document. Therefore, if
you plan to share a template with others, make sure that they have access to the location of the graphics. If you paste formatted text
(also known as “rich text”) from a Rich Text Format (RTF) or HTML file, the formatting properties of the text are preserved.
If you don’t want to add reference information, click OK without specifying any of the options.
You can also enter designer notes by copying content from another document and pasting it into the Designer notes text box.
To format text in the Designer notes text box, use the following shortcut keys:
• Ctrl + B — applies bold formatting to selected text
• Ctrl + I — italicizes selected text
• Ctrl + U — underlines selected text
• Ctrl + K — lets you assign a hyperlink to selected text
Editing templates
You can edit a template by making changes to the styles, page layout settings, or objects. For example, if you like a template but want to
make it more versatile, you can add styles that you’ve created or that you’ve taken from another template. For information about editing
styles, see “Editing styles and style sets” on page 470. For information about setting page layout options, see “Specifying the page layout”
on page 487.
