Templates

Post by Dwarf »

Hi guys!
I am new to this forum and this is my first post. Though I am using MyInfo for some months now, I am a slow learner. Currently my problem is, I seem not to be able to create my own document templates.
I use this software for RPG uses (tip from Johnny Four) and followed his tutorial concerning document templates. It tells me to create a RTF document and save it in a special folder under MyInfo6/Configuration/Templates. In fact, there are already several templates there but when I use the Insert - Document from Template function, the only option available is a Blank Document.
Can anyone help me please? Am I doing it wrong? I currently use version 6.30.

Regards,
Idilio

And one further question.
In one of his tutorials he also chooses a document and on the right side on top of the document he clicks on its name and it opens in a read-only seperate window. Just before doing that it is highlightes in blue (document name). This is a feature that doesn't work for me either. Clicking on the documents name doesn't open it in a seperate window.

Any ideas why not?

Could you check if MyInfo is using the correct folder? You can do that by going to Tools > Options > Save and see if Template Files are correct in the File Locations list (and change it to the appropriate folder, if not).

That feature was changed in MyInfo 6.10. It now uses a button, instead of clicking on the document title:

Please note that this button is available in MyInfo Professional only

Thanks a lot Petko!

That really worked. I changed the default to the correct folder and now everything works fine.

Concerning my second question, it seems that I only have the regular version (for around $50) and it seems not to support that feature.

Again, thanks a ton for that help, you nailed it.

Cheers,
