Document templates<br />

As you learned from the previous sections, character and paragraph styles are<br />

saved in the document in which they were created. If you want to use certain styles<br />

in future documents as well, you should save them in a document template.<br />

Each time you invoke File > New, TextMaker allows you to select a document<br />

template as the basis for the new document. If, at this point, you select a document<br />

template that you have created, all character and paragraph styles that you stored in<br />

the template will become available to you in the new document.<br />

Document templates can also include text – for example a letterhead. So, you can<br />

kill two birds with one stone: set up a document template with your letterhead and<br />

your favorite styles for letters, create another template for faxes, another for business<br />

reports, and so forth.<br />

Templates linked to a database<br />

It gets even better: You can attach a database to a document template and then<br />

insert database fields into it. Then, when you create a new document on the basis of<br />

this template, the TextMaker database appears automatically, allowing you to select<br />

a record and insert its fields into your letterhead, your fax form, etc.<br />

Creating a letter becomes child’s play: invoke File > New, choose the letter template,<br />

select the addressee – and the letterhead is completely filled out and ready.<br />

Tip: TextMaker comes with numerous prepared document templates for letters,<br />

faxes, etc. Try them out sometime – simply invoke File > New and select a<br />

template from one of the sub-folders.<br />
