Editing Your Template

  3. Click on the Manage Templates icon. Choose the Template Library that contains your template by double-clicking on the Template Library.
  4. Find your template, and right-click on the template, select Edit Template, this will open a new window that shows your templates folders and pre-defined document names.
  5. If your template has a folder labeled as a year, simply select the folder and right-click on the folder, select Rename and change the folder name to the year that you want to change it to and click Save. (If it does not, skip to Adding a “Year” Folder.)
  6. Your template is now ready. Click on Save As to rename the template. You can save it as the same name, which will overwrite the previous template, or you can rename it and add the year to the end of the template name, which will create a new template. Then click Save. Click Apply, then OK.

Adding a “Year” Folder

  1. If your template does not have a folder labeled as a year, and you would like it to have a year, simply click on the folder that has a plus sign on it in the top left corner of the window. This will add the new folder, right-click on the folder to rename it, name the folder and click Save.
  2. Drag your template and drop it over the top of the new year folder. Your template is now ready, click on Save As. You can save it as the same name, which will overwrite the previous template, or you can rename it and add the year to the end of the template name, which will create a new template. Then click Save. Click Apply, then OK.

Applying Your Template
