To import styles from a template into a document

When you start a document from a template by using the File New from Template command, Corel DESIGNER formats the page according to the page layout settings in the template and then loads all objects and template’s styles into the new document. With this method, you can search and browse for templates.

If you want to use only the styles from a template, you can create a blank document by using the File Open command.

You can also import styles from a template into a document at any time.
