Opening and closing templates in Template Editor

When you open an existing textual template, Template Editor checks for overlapping objects. If you receive a message about overlapping template objects, you should reposition or resize the objects to eliminate overlapping.

If you receive a message regarding template conversion when you open a template, contact your service representative for assistance if you do not know how to proceed.

To open an existing template file:

  1. Click File > Open.
  2. When the file selection dialog opens, click the location you want to open the file from and click OK.

    If you have recently worked on a template, you can open it by clicking File > Recent Files, which lists the ten most recent template files you have worked on.

  3. To close a template file, click File > Close.

    If there are unsaved changes in any of the template files that you close, Template Editor asks if you want to save them. Select the option that best suits your situation.
