If you want to use a different basic HTML structure, you can create a text file with the desired content and name it to Custom HTML and put it into the CreaText folder. When your document contains some text and you choose this menu command, CreaText tries to find a <<FONT color="blue">BODY</FONT>> and, if successful, puts the text into it.
