IBM Lotus Symphony
|
When you open a new document with File - New - Document, a blank document appears based on a Lotus® Symphony™ template. You can edit, modify, or replace this template so that the new document contains your customized Styles or other contents.
First, open either an existing Lotus Symphony template and modify it, or open a new document and edit it as necessary to create the desired template.

You can define a document template for each Lotus Symphony module. The following describes how to proceed for text documents. |
Save the document by choosing File - Save to Template Organizer and saving the document in the My Templates category.
Choose File - Template Organizer.
Double-click My Templates in the list on the left. You will see your user-defined templates. Select the template you have just saved and click the Commands button.
Choose Set As Default Template. The next time you open a new text document, the new document will be based on the new default template.
To reset the modified text template to the original default template:
Choose File - Template Organizer.
Click the Commands button and choose Reset default template. Then, select the document type whose default setting you want to restore, for example, Text Document. Thereafter, when you open an empty text document, it will again correspond to the Lotus Symphony default template for text documents.
There are several ways to make your work easier by using your own custom templates.
You can save a new template with File - Save to Template Organizer.

You may need to update the view of the templates in the dialog before you can see a newly-created template. In this case, choose File - Template Organizer and in the submenu for the Commands button, choose Update. |
