Creating New Stationery Templates

Running Lion, how do you create new stationery templates for Mail? There are several articles in Google for Snow Leopard, et al, but nothing for Lion. Same in this Forum - everything regarding stationery seems to be 2-3 years old???
Also, where do the JPG's for the current stationery reside??
Thanks.
Mark

As far as I know there is no way to place text on top of an attached image in Mail.
When you click on an image attached to Mail, the image is selected; when you then type in new text, the text replaces the image, just as it would replace any selected text.
You can add background color, set font face, style, and color for selected text, and do some other standard text formatting things.
But, Mail is not a word processor nor a page layout program. There is no word wrap-around for embedded (attached) images, nor the ability to layer text on top of such an image.
If you want to have text on top of an image, do that in another program (Preview or Pages, for example, depending on the complexity) and then attach the resulting composite to the email.
How it was done for the predefined templates is something I have not been able to replicate.

InDesign CS5- where is create new from template?

Hi,
I was looking for creating something new from one of the default templates of CS5, like I've done in the past with CS3 and CS4. However I find that there doesn't seem to be an option to create new from template.
Am I completely missing where it is? Have they called it something else? Have they removed the default ones completely from InDesign?

I should perhaps amend that to don't waste time with a template for multiple labels on a sheet. If you see something that works for you as far as basic layout, make a one-up lable from it (cupy the elements from a single label into a new file sized for only one label). Get a sheet full of blank labels, place that file in the upper left position on your larger sheet layout, then use Edit >Step and Repeat... to make the grid. This is much more efficient as it allows you to edit the entire sheet at one time by editing the single label file.
If you need to d a data merge, you can do nearly the same thing -- put a single blank label layout in the upper left position, add your merge field placeholders in that one label, and run the merge. DO NOT put anything beyond the single label layout on the sheet for a Data Merge job. Also, note that there is a bug in CS5/5.5 that will give you an incorrect multiple records merge if you try to preview. If you preview you must use Undo before the merge to go back to the pre-preview state.

EP6.0.2 Create new workflow template with graphical editor

Hi!
In the EP6 Content (Administration -> Workflow Content -> Workflow Templates) you can find an iview to generate templates for ad-hoc (java-) workflows.
After installation the button "Create New Template" is disabled.
How can I configure the EP to create new template with graphical editor? Or should I wait till SP4 is rleased?

Henric

Hi Henric,
We have had to develop our own way of creating templates. This area seems to be very underdeveloped at the moment.

How to create New Stationery in Mail 3.5?

I've recently updated to 10.5.6, and in the new Mail there is a provision for using stationery.
Does anyone know where the stationery files are stored? I'm interested in creating my own layouts and including them with the templates provided. Any idea as to how the templates were created?
I would appreciate any suggestions

Can't create "New from Template"

I see my templates sitting in my Template Folder(s), nothing
has changed there. I have lots of sites & templates, yet EVERY
site and every template now seems to be gone upon doing a
'file-new'. I need to be able to create child pages. This just
started, very strange. All help is needed!!

When you select a site, and use FILE | New, what happens?
And, which DW are
you using?

Problem while creating a new project template

I am trying to create a new project template under one operating unit newly created.
I am using P A Super User responsibility for that operating unit.
In profile setting the above responsibility has been assigned the new operating unit under Mo operating unit profile.
Now when I go to Setup>>Projects>>Project Templates and click on New, the form to create new Project template opens up but in the field where I have to select the operating unit, it shows no values in the LOV.
Can anyone please help me to know what setting do I have to perform so that I can select the operating unit in this new Template creation Form.
Regards
Hawker Hunter

Dear Mr. Govind,
we have followed all the Project Implementation Setup for the new operating unit except for the Implementation options which we have to fill up for each operating unit.
In the implementation Options form in the first tab 'System' there are many fields to be filled up.
For 'Summarization period Type' we choose 'G L Period' and based on this the fields 'Calendar Name' and 'P A Period Type' automatically gets populated.
But in our case the 'P A Period Type' is not getting populated.
Can you let me know where we can link the 'P A Period Type' to the chosen 'Calendar name'?
Also there is a check box - 'Maintain common PA and GL Periods'. If we tick this check box, a message says: 'The Period Type and Calendar of the PA Period does not match the Period type and Calendar of the corresponding GL Period.'
Can you please let me know where to create the PA Period based on the corresponding GL periods?

New From Template Changes Relative Links to Local Root?

Thank you for taking the time to read and understand my plight with Dreamweaver CS3 for Mac. I apologize for the lengthy question, but in the effort to provide detail I shall go. First the background:
I'm updating, editing, and appending an existing site that was previously created with Dreamweaver.
I'm new to Dreamweaver but have a pretty good understanding of things
I created a new site on the local drive on my MacBook Pro and then downloaded the entire site via FTP (live site: domain.com)
I then replicated the site and exact file structure using FTP to a staging server (staging.domain.com)
There are three existing .dwt templates. I've successfully updated the template file and auto updated all other pages that were based on this template.
But my problem comes from creating new pages FROM the template. It appears that while the .dwt template file shows relative links (../xxxx) in the code, when create a new file from the template the url of these links is replaced by the path to the file on my local drive... I want non of this (.../xxxx) is fine.
What is happening is that a javascript drop down menu is disappearing when I create new from template. I am assuming it's because of the path changes.
This is the ORIGINAL (good) code from the .dwt:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
But when I create a NEW page from the above template the code is changed to the local path:

<tr>
     <td height="31">
          <table width="718" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
               <tr>
                    <td width="24"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/site/site staging master/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
To be sure all links in the template file are changed too.
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal.
To provide easier visual reference I offer the following:
This is the .dwt file when opened in dreamweaver:
Note the black area where the javascript drop down menu is in the top navigation when the page is correct:
But when I create a NEW page from template this is what I get in the top navigation bar:
And then this is what it looks like when posted:
Ultimately what I'm trying to do is:
1) work on site files on my local drive
2) sync the local drive with staging.domain.com so my client can proof and approve
3) sync to the actual live site at domain.com
I assume I could simply do this by changing the ftp info and given the site structure and all files are same and ideally all links are relative this should be accomplished easily.
Though perhaps my problem stems from the fact my local site is buried several layers deep on my local drive Local Drive/Users/Me/Clients/Client.... etc... but I haven't checked this yet.

Great... Thanks for your patience....
Here are links to all questioned files on the staging server:
This is the .dwt file itself
This is a random page created from the above template that shows the image/navigation incorrect.
And this page was created by simply altering the .dwt template file linked above and then SAVING AS. You can see the relative links remained and the navigation bar looks and operates as normal. (obviously the wrong thing to do.
And this page is one that was created prior to my working on the site and was based on the subpage template and displays correctly.
Now bear with me here as I notice this behavour too.
In the code snipped taken directly from the DW .dwt template (linked above)
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
you'll notice there are two images L-Header-Corner.gif and one that is Header.BG.gif.
The difference here is that the BG gif has a style attributed to it "Background-Image) which is followed by some strange code that says (url)../
Opening that file Background Image and it's a tiny slice of what I think is part of the entire missing gray bar:
In a page that displays correctly the code looks like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(../images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
And in a page that is displaying incorrectly the code appears like this:
<td width="24"><img src="../images/L-Header-Corner.gif" width="30" height="50" border="0"></td>
                    <td width="342" style="background-image: url(file:///Grasshopper/Users/allan/Documents/clients/koolfog/koolfog website staging/images/Header-BG.gif);"><img src="../images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="337" height="1" border="0"> </td>
So you can see that the link in this case (with the URL and style) has actually been converted to a site (my hard drive) relative link when saving.
So the pressing question stands: Why doesn't dreamweaver convert that URL link when saving a page created from a template back to the same directory?
Also, it appears that in that .DWT all the links have the leading periods and therefore are document relative... since I didn't set this up, how do you think this happened?

How to create a Document Template for "Scanned" PDFs? (Editing isn't necessary.)

I have a Custom Content Type called "Vendor Invoices". It is based off the "Document" Content Type. I would like to create a "Document Template" that will support "PDFs", but the PDFs should always be added via an
"upload" (since these are Invoices that we will be "receiving", there is no need to actually "Create" one). So, I don't need to support "New Document" or the "Drag and Drop" "New Document". I simply
need the users to "Upload" the documents. Although, I have created several Columns for this Content Type (Invoice Number, Invoice Date, Vendor Name, etc) that the user will input when uploading the Invoice (PDF), so I WOULD like the "Document
Information Panel" to appear. Is that only possible by using one of the Office document types?
Any thoughts or ideas on how I might accomplish this?
Thanks!
Shayne

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to create a pdf content type.
We can use the PDF SharePoint Cumulative Update 1 to achieve this scenario, it allows you to create new PDF template and then deploy it as a Content Type.
There is an article about this topic, you can refer to it.

Making Personalized Stationery Templates

New Stationery won't allow edits

We've created new stationery (actually modified existing stationery to create a new one) and placed it in the correct folder structure in /library/ to get it to show up in Mail app in the Stationery list. However, when we create a new message and click on this Stationery, we find that we cannot edit the text in the message. I imagine that, everytime we wanted to use the stationery, we could probably 1) change the text in the content.html file, 2) place that file back into the .mailstationery directory, and 3) restart Mail, but that seems a little barbaric.
Is there something we can change to make our stationery editable from within Mail? I can send the .mailstationery files if that would be helpful.
Thanks!

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

I am changing from Word to Pages. I have created my custom template with all my styles etc and that is what comes up when I go for a New Document. Fine. How do I get it to use the same Custom Template when I use Pages to open a Word document?

The template is a document in itself, it is not applied to an existing document whether it is a Pages document or a Word document converted to a Pages document.
You would need to either copy and paste content, using existing styles, or apply the styles to the converted Word document.
You can Import the Styles from an existing document and those imported Styles can be used to override the current document's styles:
Menu > Format > Import Styles
The process is simplified if the styles use the same names, otherwise you will need to delete the style you don't want and replace it with the one that you do want when asked, then the substitution is pretty straightforward.

Clicking "page from template" does not allow me create new pages

I stared designing a site with the trial version of CS4. Of course it involved a lot of trial and error, creating a page and canceling it again etc. At last I was able to design the index page and a few other pages, but suddenly just about 7 days into the trial period, the template started looking different; not displaying the images and displaying the home page article in an improper way. I also discovered that I could not create new pages by selecting file\new. When the new document dialogue page opens and I select "page from template" and then select a site I am working on, nothing shows in the items list. I only see the message "no items". Moreover, the "create" (new page) button is no more a click-able area.
I even tried it by proceeding as if I wanted to design a new site. I click file\new\page from template\the site, but when it comes to the stage where I should select "2 column liquid, left sidebar, header and footer" after clicking “page from template” I don't see anything in the items column. It only tells me "no item."
I thought this problem was due to the fact that I was using the trial version and that the trial version was limited in the number of new pages I could create. So I bought the full version. Alas! I discovered that changed nothing. Right now am stuck. Do you have any suggestion?

I think you're are confusing DW Templates with CSS Page Designs and Starter Pages.
Templates are a DW proprietary device. They permit you to have sitewide elements such as common menus, headers and footers on all your pages along with Editable Regions for page specific content (i.e. the stuff that changes on every page).
DW Templates looks like this (notice the Template Editable Comments):
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

Automatically create new Excel file from template using data from a selected row in a separate Excel file

I am fairly new to Macro and VBA in Excel. I am trying to reduce the amount of work involved in a task that is performed often in our office. Currently, the task involves using 2 separate Excel files. One file is a tracking sheet and the second is the document
that gets sent out to the client. The second document has all the same information that is inserted into the tracking sheet. What I would like to do is have the information that is in one row on the tracking sheet populate into a new excel file that is created
automatically from an existing template.
I have been able to make this partially work. What I have been able to achieve is have the cell that is selected in the tracking sheet (the description field) copy into the new file that is created from the template that is on our server.
Sub NewRFI()
' NewRFI Macro
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Selection.Copy
Workbooks.Add Template:= _
"template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Select
Selection.PasteSpecial Paste:=xlPasteValues, Operation:=xlNone, SkipBlanks:= _
False, Transpose:=False
Range("C14").Select
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub
What I need to do is get the rest of the information from that same row in the tracking sheet to copy to the new file as well. The other information includes the document number (one cell to the left of the selected cell), who it is from (one cell to the
right of the selected cell), and the date (two cells to the right of the selected cell). As stated, this information is all in the same row on the tracking sheet. Each piece of information needs to be copied to a certain cell in the new file and I do not want
the source formatting to be copied to the new file.
Ideally, I would like it to operate like so: select the first cell in the row (in this case would be the document number field). Then click a button to run the macro that will then copy the information from that row in the tracking sheet to specific cells
in the new file that is created from the template.
This process will save us from having to either manually copy and paste the information into the new file or re-type the same information that is already in the tracking sheet.
This is probably a simple thing to do but it would be great if anybody had some insight on this issue. Thanks in advance!

Try code like the following. You will have to change the target cells (D25, F1 and H4) to the ones you want, I just used some arbitrary cells as example.
Sub NewRFI()
Dim rngCell As Range
Set rngCell = ActiveCell
MsgBox Selection.Address(ReferenceStyle:=xlA1, _
RowAbsolute:=False, ColumnAbsolute:=False)
Workbooks.Add Template:="template file path goes here"
Range("C14").Value = rngCell.Value
' Change the target cells as needed
Range("D25").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, -1).Value
Range("F1").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 1).Value
Range("H4").Value = rngCell.Offset(0, 2).Value
End Sub

Creating new site collection using wsp template fails

Hi all,

For site collection creation I select "<Select template later>" then I upload the wsp solution.
Everything worked until last month, now after CU installation (agoust 2014) I get an error:

Does anyone know how to solve it?
