Getting Started 19
Instead of a design template, you
can adopt a Theme Layout
instead; layouts offer picture
placeholders instead of actual
pictures. Different physical
document types (Brochure,
Business Cards, Flyer, Newsletter,
etc.) can be created from a chosen
theme (e.g., Arctic), each type
offering a choice of
complementary multiple page
designs.
Once selected, the publication is normally all but complete apart from adding
your own pictures to placeholders, personalizing placeholder text, or fine-tuning
object positioning.
To create a publication from a design template:
1. Open PagePlus, or choose New... from the File menu and select New
from Startup Wizard....
2. Click Use Design Template to display the Choose a Design Template
dialog.
3. In the tree menu on the left, select a publication category, e.g.
Publications.
4. Navigate the main window's categories and sub-categories, then click
a chosen document type's thumbnail.
