Menu Option

Description

New

Clears an existing template from the edit window and starts an empty, unnamed template.

The editor prompts you to save any modification to the previous template.

Revert

Reverts to the previously-saved copy of the template.

Save

Saves the text to the current file name.

If a file is not yet specified, the editor prompts you for a template name.

Save As

Similar to Save File, but enables you to specify a new template name for saving the template.

You can invoke this function by pressing [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[S], or selecting the option from the menu.

Import

Imports an existing RTF document into the Template Editor, so as to insert model elements from that document into the template.

This is useful when creating templates from a predefined document with a particular 'look and feel'.

Export

Saves the template as an RTF document rather than as a template.

This can be useful when you want to save the template for other models.

Document Options

Displays the Document Options dialog which enables you to set the filter and order the elements.

Page Layout

Use this option before selecting the Print option, to specify the page layout. You can specify the margins (left, right, top and bottom) in inches.

You can invoke this function by pressing [Ctrl]+[F4] or selecting the option from the menu.

Printer Setup

Invokes a printer-specific dialog for the default printer (the default printer selection is made from the Windows Control panel). You select the parameters from a set of printer-specific options. These options include page size, page orientation, resolution and fonts.

You can invoke this function by pressing [Ctrl]+[Shift]+[P] or selecting the option from the menu.

Print

Prints the contents of the current file. You can also choose to print only a selected part of the file.

To print a block of text, highlight the required text before invoking the Print function. This command prints a highlighted:

·Line block
·Character block

The Print function prints on a default printer selected from the Windows Control panel. You can alter the printer setup or page layout prior to invoking the Print function.

You can invoke the Print function by pressing [Ctrl]+[P] or selecting the option from the menu. The editor displays a dialog where you can select the scope of the printing.

Print Preview

Previews the document before printing. The editor displays up to two pages at a time. You can scroll to a different page using [Page Up], [Page Down] or the scroll bar.

By default the preview rectangle is sized to fit the current window. However, you can use the zoom option to enlarge or shrink the preview rectangle as required.

Close

Closes the Template Editor. The editor prompts you to save any unsaved information.
