Editing Documents and Templates
Within Enterprise Architect you can create various documents from templates, and you can create customized templates to help tailor the documents to the needs and standards of your organization. You can create Linked Documents, Linked Document Templates and Document (Report) Templates, amongst others. In each case, selecting to create or edit the document opens the Document-Edit ribbon, which provides a wide range of editing and formatting facilities that you can use to develop your documentation. This section explains how to perform various editing tasks using the ribbon.
Each type of document can also have its own context menu of additional options, and the editing window might also have an option toolbar. These facilities are described in the topics specific to the type of document.
