The document template determines the text used for bubble text and action properties. The Template property allows you to browse the Library and select another template set. The template sets included with the program are the Standard and Microsoft templates. The Microsoft template conforms to the standards as stated in the Microsoft Manual of Style for Technical Publications. In addition to these templates, other template sets may be available to you.


You can use the template to modify the text used in bubbles for action and object types. For example, you can change the template text for a Left click action to display the bubble text "Click on" instead of "Click the". Templates are read-only, but you can create a copy of the template with a new name, edit the text in the new template and use the Template property to assign the new template to your content.


If you are creating content for a language other than the default Developer language, you can select the template for that language. However, you can set only one language per document. If you need to produce the same content in multiple languages, you can follow the localization process to create a copy of your outline based on another language template.


Note: Templates are stored in the Library by language in the System/Templates folder.
