Managing Templates

There are also some basic management tasks you might want to perform from time to time on your templates, such as renaming your templates, importing and exporting templates, or deleting obsolete templates. These tasks are performed in the Manage Templates dialog box. Importing and exporting templates enables you to share templates with other users. See the topic Importing and Exporting Templates for more information.

Note: You cannot rename or delete the templates that are installed (or shipped) with this product. Instead, if you want to rename, you can open the installed template and make a new one with the name of your choice. You can delete your custom templates; however, if you try to delete a shipped template, it will be reset to the version originally installed.

2. Select the template you want to rename and click Rename. The name box becomes an editable field in the table.

4. If you are satisfied with the name change, click Yes. If not, click No.
