Adding or deleting a page
When you are creating or editing a report template, use the Add and Delete
buttons in the Page box in the Report Template window to add or delete a page
from the template. The current page and total number of pages are indicated in the
lower-right corner of the window.
To add a page, choose Add. The page is added at the end of the template.
To delete a page, first use the arrow buttons to display the page and then choose
Delete. You can delete any page except page one.
Saving a report template
Use the Save As button in the Report Template window to save on a disk the
report template you are creating or editing. Follow these steps:
1. Choose Save As in the Report Template window.
A dialog box appears.
2. Specify a filename and directory location for saving the template.
3. Type a description for the template in the Description box.
Entering descriptions for templates makes it easier to select an appropriate
template later.
4. Choose Save.
Selecting,
editing or creating
a report template
Important
Use Template in the Report menu to select a report template for printing reports or
adding reports to a notebook, to edit a template, or to create a new template. See
“Working with reports” for a discussion of using report templates, reports and
report notebooks.
OMNIC includes several example report templates. These are in the C:\My
Documents\OMNIC\Report directory (or other location where you installed
OMNIC). To save time, we recommend that you modify one of these templates
whenever you want to design a new template. Save the template with a new name
after you make your changes.
Use Options in the Edit menu to specify the margins and orientation for the template
before you create a new template. You will not be able to change these items after
you create the template. See “Print options” in the “Edit” chapter for details. ▲
If you use Template just to select a stored report template, that template becomes
the current template. When you later print a report or add a report to a notebook,
OMNIC automatically fills in the appropriate information and images. For
example, if an item in the template is linked to the active spectral window, the
contents of that window appear on paper when you print the report.
If you use Template to edit a stored report template or to create a new template,
the Report Template window provides the features you need.
