1.7 CUSTOM TEMPLATES
If you
create a special publication layout that you might want to use for future
publications, you can save the publication as a custom template and then use it
as the basis for new publications as you would a built-in template.
TO
SAVE A PUBLICATION AS A TEMPLATE:
1. On
the File menu, click menu, click Save As.
2. In
the File name box of the Save As dialog box, type a name for the template.
3.
Click the Save as type arrow, and then in the list, Click Publisher Template.
Publisher displays your default Templates folder.
Note:
For a
template to be available from the My Templates page, it must be stored in the
default Templates folder. If you store a template in a different folder, you
can browse to that folder and double-click the template file to open a new
publication based on the template.
4. If
you want to assign the template to a specific category, click the Change
button. Select the category from the list or select the current category and
type the name of a new category. Then click OK.
5.
Click Save.
In the
My Templates window, you can change the category of a template or delete it by
pointing to the template, clicking the arrow that appears, and then clicking it
by pointing to the template, clicking the arrow that appears, and then clicking
the command.
TO CREATE A NEW PUBLICATION BASED ON THE CUSTOM
TEMPLATE:
1. In
the left panel of the Getting Started window, under Microsoft Publisher click
My Templates.
The My
Templates page displays templates stored in the default Templates folder,
organized by category.
2. In
the center panel, click the template you want, and then click in the center
panel, click the template you want, and then click Create.
Publisher
opens a new publication based on your custom template.
The
simplest way to change a custom template after you save it is to create a
publication based on the template, make the changes, and then save the revised
publication as a template, with the original template name, overwriting the old
one.
