Adding a snippet to a section
Drag-and-drop
To add the snippet to the content of a section, drag the snippet from the Snippets folder on the
Resources pane to the desired location in a section.
Check the option Insert as shared content to insert a reference to the original snippet in the
template, rather than a copy of the original snippet.
Via a script
In addition to the drag-and-drop method, it is possible, and often useful, to insert a snippet or
part of it, using a script; for remote snippets this is normal practice. See "Loading a snippet via
a script" on page408.
Tip
To export a snippet from your template, drag or copy/paste it out of the Snippets folder to
a folder on the local hard drive.
Creating a snippet
To turn a part of a letter oremail into a snippet for reuse in the content of a template:
1. Open the section and select the part or parts that should be saved to a snippet.
2.
Right-click the selection, point to Snippet and click Create to copy the selected part to a
new snippet, or Create Shared Content to create the new snippet and replace the
selected part with a reference to the new snippet.
3. Give the snippet a name.
Editing a snippet
To edit a snippet, open the snippet file by double-clicking it on the Resources pane.
By default, a snippet that is being used as shared content can also be modified in a section
where it is used. That way you actually adjust its source. The snippet will be changed at all
locations where it is used.
