Custom Template Design Options
The Document Template Designer, through the common document Editor, provides a wide range of options for defining the format and styles of the document reports generated from your custom templates. You access the 'Document Editor' options through a context menu and, for some of the functions, through the toolbars at the top of the 'Content' panel.
Access Project | Documentation | Document Templates: <template>
When you have opened the template in the Designer, you display the context menu by right-clicking in the 'Content' panel.
