If the preset templates do not meet your needs, you can create your own templates, based on documents that you often use. For example, if you regularly put together a newsletter, you can save the page layout settings and styles to a template.
When you save a template, CorelDRAW allows you to add reference information, such as pagination, folds, category, industry, and other important notes. Although adding template information is optional, doing so makes it easier to organize and locate templates later on. For example, adding descriptive notes to a template lets you subsequently search for that template by entering text from the notes.
| To create a template | |
1. |
Click File  Save as template.
|
2. |
Type a name in the File name list box.
|
3. |
Locate the folder where you want to save the template.
|
4. |
Click Save.
|
5. |
In the Template properties dialog box, specify the options you want:
|
• |
Name — Assign a name to your template. This name will appear with the
thumbnail in the Templates pane.
|
• |
Sided — Choose a pagination option.
|
• |
Folds — Choose a fold from the list, or choose Other and type the fold type in
the text box next to the Folds list box.
|
• |
Type — Choose an option from the list, or choose Other and type the template
type in the text box next to the Type list box.
|
• |
Industry — Choose an option from the list, or choose Other and type the
industry for which the template is designed.
|
• |
Designer notes — Type important information about the intended use of the
template.
|
 |
If you click Cancel, you close the Template properties dialog box without
saving the template.
|
If you save a template to a previous version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite
(13.0 or earlier), you cannot add reference information.
|
The Designer notes text box supports HTML markup, so you can paste such
content as graphics and hyperlinks. Graphics pasted from an HTML file are
referenced from their original location and are not embedded in the
CorelDRAW document. Therefore, if you plan to share a template with others,
make sure that they have access to the location of the graphics. If you paste
formatted text (also known as “rich text”) from a Rich Text Format (RTF) or
HTML file, the formatting properties of the text are preserved.
|
 |
If you don’t want to add reference information, click OK without specifying
any of the options.
|
You can also enter designer notes by copying content from another document
and pasting it into the Designer notes text box.
|
To format text in the Designer notes text box, use the following shortcut
keys:
|
• |
Ctrl + B — applies bold formatting to selected text
|
• |
Ctrl + I — italicizes selected text
|
• |
Ctrl + U — underlines selected text
|
• |
Ctrl + K — lets you assign a hyperlink to selected text
