Opening an Existing Document as a Template

Cosmo Create provides several template documents that you can open, edit, and save as your own. In this way you can quickly create standard documents such as a home page (see also About the Home Page). These documents are located in the /usr/share/CosmoCreate/templates directory.

You can open a template file in the /usr/share/CosmoCreate/templates directory by following these steps:

  1. Choose File > Open Template...

  2. In the Open Template File window, open a file using either of these methods:

You can open any HTML file as a template. To do so, enter the pathname of the directory that contains the file in the Open template field, press Enter to see all the files that the directory contains, then double-click the file. To see the contents of the default template directory again, click the Default Template Directory button.

Note: You cannot edit the template files in the template directory; if you want to edit the file you have opened, you must save it in your current directory.
