Template Extensions

 

Nota Bene templates use the following extensions:

 

.sm   academic style manuals

.let   letters

.fax   faxes

.mem   memos

.doc   other documents

 

To specify a new extension to be used for a new type of template:

 

1Click File, New. The New Standard Document dialog will appear on your screen.
2Click the Manage Tabs button just under the the Filename box. The Template Extensions dialog will appear on your screen.
3Type a new extension in the Template Extension box. The extension must consist of one, two or three characters. It is not necessary to type the period before the one, two or three characters.
4Click the New button.
5Enter a name for the new extension in the Short Name box. This is the name that will appear on the tab associated with this extension. The ampersand (&) can be used to specify a letter in the name on the tab that is underlined and can be used to move to that tab by pressing Alt and the specified letter. For example, type &ABC to produce the tab ABC or A&BC to produce the tab ABC.
6Enter a description in the Description box.
7Select a BMP image to associate with the new extension.
8Click OK on the Template Extensions dialog.
9Click OK on the New Standard Document dialog.

The new tab will appear in the New Standard Document dialog after you exit and reopen Nota Bene.

 

You can also use the Template Extensions dialog to delete or edit the extensions/tabs or to change the order in which the tabs appear in the New Standard Document dialog.
