Edit Linked Document Templates

To develop the contents of a linked document template, held in the Resources window, you use the Linked Document Template Editor. This is based on the Document Editor, providing a wide range of convenient features for formatting and editing the template, and for adding links from and references to the content of the document. The editor facilities are provided from a menu displayed at the top of the editor.
