Edit "New Document-template"

Ik work with Dreamweaver a lot (CS3) and I create a lot of
sites. Every site though, has the same folder structure.
Is there a way to edit the "New Document" template for let's
say... default css/javascript includes (link and script tags) and
just a basic html layout (wrapper, header divs, etc...).
I was also wondering if it is possible to automatically
create a standard folder structure when setting up a new site
inside DW? I always have the same structure so it would be great if
I could skip the step to create those manually.

Huh?
When you do FILE | New > Basic HTML, you want the page
that opens to contain
all of your standard stuff? Sure - you can do that. What is
your OS?

I don't know any way to do that.

By default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?

by default new document/templates start with above, How I change to be Strict 1.0 XHTML ?
Tell me for Dw MX2004 & CS4 ?
If I start with Transitional 1.0 XHTML and want to change to Strict 1.0 XHTML the only way is modify code or make a new doc ?

Using CS4, there are a few ways to do it:
1. when creating a new document - you can select the doc type preference.
2. In your preferences, you can set up which document type will be opened when you select a new document.
3. If you start with one doctype and want to convert it to another use:

New Document Template a NO-GO ...

When trying to establish a Default template within FH's
Preferences, the Default Ltr document is non-selectable.
And editing this [default] template and re-saving seems to
make it invisible to FH's Preference file.
Any work-arounds or suggestions?

Are you using Mac OS X? If so, this may be the reason.
The document you select as a FH template must be a
'Stationery Pad'
document.
There is a bug introduced by Mac OS X. If you save a FH
document as a
'FreeHand Template', FH is no longer able to save it in
'Stationery Pad'
format.
Here's the workaround. In the Finder, select the document and
Get Info
(Cmd+I). Check the 'Stationery Pad' box. You will now be able
to select the
document as a FH template. However, be aware that every time
you edit and
save a template file, you must manually re-check 'Stationery
Pad'.

Use a pdf as a document template, New Document icon and action

I am looking to use an editable pdf as a new document template for a content type. I uploaded the pdf successfully, but when I select the new document from the template options, it attempts to open the pdf, and then provides the error message:
Message from webpage
The document could not be created.
The required application may not be installed properly, or the template for this document library cannot be opened.
Please try the following:
1. Check the General Settings for this document library for the name of the template, and install the application necessary for opening the template. If the application was set to install on first use, run the application and then try creating a new document
again.
2. If you have permission to modify this document library, go to General Settings for the library and configure a new template.
OK
I have already setup the docicon.xml with the following entry for pdf's:
<Mapping Key="pdf" Value="pdficon_small.gif"/>
PDF's are behaving appropriately throughout the environment, but I am unable to get the 'New Document' from a pdf template functioning. Does this capability exist?
Thanks!

For Content Types, it only recognizes Office document types. In order to add PDFs, you would need to build a custom solution or purchase a 3rd party product (such as http://www.pdfshareforms.com/pdf-share-forms-enterprise/).

Unable to edit document template in SharePoint 2013

We have uploaded a set of templates that users can select from the drop down list in the Document field in the Document Library. We now need to edit one of these document templates.
We follow the procedure and make the edits which changes the template but when we then select that template from the drop down list, the edits have not been actioned.
Can anyone please assist?

Hi,
As I understand, The modification was not saved back to the template.
How do you edit the document template?
Check if the URL of the template is right. You can go to the site setting->site content type->click the content type you want to edit->advanced setting->edit the template->open the template, and click file->to check if the URL under the template is right.
As a workaround, when you edit the template you can save the template in the local computer, and you can upload the template you have saved in the advanced setting for the content type.
The article below is about how to create Document Templates for Document Libraries in SharePoint 2010, it also can work in SharePoint 2013.

The Create List Item workflow action does not work in document library with document template

My end goal is more complex but below is a basic example of the issue I’m having that just simply does not work.
I'm trying to use a site workflow to create an item in a document library that has a document template applied to it but the file that gets created by the workflow is corrupt and cannot be opened.
I created a document library and edited the document template by adding some text to the header and changing it to a Word docx file instead of a Word dotx file. I tested the document template by clicking the files tab in the ribbon and then clicking new
document which opens the document template in Word and allows me to edit and save the document back to SharePoint. Then I created a SharePoint 2013 site workflow in SharePoint Designer that contains a single Create List Item action, and that action creates
an item in the document library with the name field statically defined. I published the workflow and then manually start it on the site. The workflow completes successfully and when I navigate to the document library the document has been created by the workflow.
When I click on the document to open it in the Word Web App it throws the error pictured below and if I open it in the Word client application it just opens a blank document and not the correct document template.
I also tried using a SharePoint 2010 workflow with pretty much the same results. Opening the document in Word Web App gives the same error as above and opening the document in the Word client application gives the error pictured below.
Come on Microsoft creating a Word Document in a SharePoint Document Library from a SharePoint Workflow should just work! Is this a bug or does anyone have any ideas on what is causing the this issue?

I had the same problem with corrupted document - this worked for me:
1. Create a 2010 Workflow which creates the list element in a document library
(you may start this workflow from your 2013 workflow if applicable)
2. In the Create New List Item properties - make sure to set ContentTypeId to your content type
("Id for indholdstype" is Danish for "Contenttype ID")
3. Your Content Type template should be a ".docx" file - NOT a ".dotx" file...!
(I have always created my templates for content types as .dotx files - seems Microsoft wants us to use ordinary .docx files as template files for content types)
Hope this helps you!

"Untitled" as default document name for new documents

I have one installation of Adobe Illustrator CS2 in a Mac with which I have the following problem:
Whenever I go to File->New, to create a new document, the default document name is blank, and it should be "untitled".
Is there a way (without reinstalling) to correct this? (turn the default blank document name to "untitled" default document name, for new documents)
Thank you.
Juan Poniachik

On what Mac? If it's on a new Mac with Snow Leopard, I would guess it is one of those compatibility issues of new OS vs. legacy software. If so, you can't change any of that. Other than that I can only think of trying to edit the document templates...

Has anybody seen this issue before?
Thanks

Just check if you have maintained the webservice in SICF.

How can I change the format of the default new document?

Hi, I've recently upgraded to Pages 5.1 and am wondering how I can change the formatting of the default 'new document' template. Any suggestions would be most welcome,

Make a template to your own liking and Save As Template…

Formatting "new document"

When I open Pages I want it to immediately open a new document, and I want to format the new document template. (I don't want the extra steps of creating a template, having to find that and then open it; just want the "new document" command to open the new document in my chosen format. Possible? Steps?

Make a template the way you want it, then set that to be the start up document in your Pages Preferences.

Using a PDF as a Document Template in SharePoint 2010: "New Document" icon and action

Hi,
I have to create a document template in SharePoint 2010 using a PDF. After much searching I have learned to install Reader on the SharePoint server to bring in AcroPDF.dll
and set the OpenControl for PDFs in DOCICON.xml to be "AdobeAcrobat.OpenDocuments".
After taking these steps I can check PDFs in and out of SharePoint, and edit PDFs as I would edit an MS Office document.
However two problems remain with creating new documents based upon a PDF document template.
1) The PDF icon does not appear in the New Document dropdown. This makes sense since I never referenced a 32x32 icon in the SharePoint config files. Where would I place the icon image file and which configuration file would I edit to use that image file, and how?
The last three document templates are PDFs.
The second problem I face is that when I click one of the document templates above that is a PDF, nothing happens. I have tried this with Acrobat installed on both the client and the server. It would be preferable to insert a copy of the PDF document used as a template without having to use Acrobat at all.
Is there any resolution to either of these problems?

According to what i found the image needs to be 16x16.
See if this works.
Edit the DOCICON.XML file to include the PDF icon
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\TEMPLATE\XML
Edit the DOCICON.XML file (I open it in NotePad, you can also use the built-in XML Editor)
Ignore the section <ByProgID> and scroll down to the <ByExtension> section of the file
Within the <ByExtension> section, insert a <Mapping Key=”pdf” Value=”pdficon_small.gif” /> attribute. The easiest way is to copy an existing one – I usually just copy the line that starts <Mapping Key=”png”… and replace the parameters for Key and Value (see image below for example).
Note: Do not take shortcuts and copy/paste from here. 99% of problems with PDF icons not being displayed are due to errors made in the DOCICON.XML file
Save and close the file

Cannot now edit existing or new documents

Hi, I've been using iWork - Keynote and Pages in particular and have this simple problem. I have been working on a text doc in Pages which has simple Outline formatting. I opened recently to find I cannot edit it in anyway. This is now also with new documents from the templates. I can copy, CUT and paste into a new doc but cannot select and delete text. This is also the case with other document I've opened and tried to edit. I've checked the user/permissions for the doc and change all to read/write even thought it was set to read/write for me. I haven't yet tried re-installing because I felt it was quite a simple problem although completely debiliatating!
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

There is no authorisation involved. Apple just trusts you to do the right thing.
It won't have gone back to being demo if you have been running this for years, unless you have done something else you have not told us about.
Have you changed Macs, upgraded OSX and only used migration assist to transfer iWork?
You may need to clean off your existing installation:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewtopic.php?t=105&mforum=iworktips ntrick
and do a reinstall from the DVD.

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.

I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.
