Using a template

Templates are a convenient way to store boilerplate versions of projects that can be used as a starting point for future projects that are created. For example, if your organization has a standard "look and feel" for a project that should be applied to all projects, you can create a template that contains the layout and all associated text and graphics for that project. You would then use this template when creating additional projects.

You can create and import templates, use one of the many pre-installed templates, or access online templates. Hundreds of pre-installed templates are available, including a gallery for the iPhone® and iPod® Touch. Online templates are organized by category.

Descriptions and previews are available when you select a template.

You can start a template using a custom template that you have created or using an online template.

To start a project using a template:

If the Getting Started with Lectora Online window is displayed, click the Templates tab. Otherwise, select Create New Project from the File ribbon and click My Templates.
Use the drop-down folder list to navigate your custom and online templates.
Double-click the desired template or select the desired template from the list and click OK.

Your newly created project is displayed in Edit mode and you can begin adding objects to complete its functionality.
