Custom Template Design Options

The Document Template Designer, through the common RTF Editor, provides a wide range of options for defining the format and styles of the RTF reports generated from your custom templates. You access the RTF Editor options through a context menu and, for some of the functions, through the toolbars at the top of the Content panel.

Access     Settings | Document Template Designer: <template>

When you have opened the template in the Designer, you display the context menu by right-clicking in the Content panel.
