Manage templates

You can manage your current templates, or add new templates from the Templates menu. If you do not have a file open in Working Papers, access the Templates menu from File | Templates. With a file open, click Tools | Templates.

Option	Description
Templates	A list of templates currently installed on the workstation. Select a template to access additional menu options. Templates marked with a red x are unavailable because they have been deleted, moved, or the server is offline.
Add	Add a template based on a Working Papers file, or a pre-existing Working Papers file (.ac, .ac_) to the template list. When browsing for the file to add, you can deselect Copy across underlying cvdata on CaseView documents if you do not want to copy CaseView database information. Notes: Unlike templates, pre-existing files contain account balances, annotations, completed programs and checklists, and other client specific information. When using existing files, it is necessary to clear this information in order to create a generic shell similar to a template. Before adding pre-existing Audit files as a template, contact technical support for information on possible implications during future updates.
Uninstall/Remove	Completely uninstall a template, or remove the selected template from the Template menu. To prevent data loss, you can only remove templates based on Working Papers files.
Edit	Open the selected template in Template Design Mode. Organizations can create and maintain a master template with customized content using this option.
Copy	Make a copy of the selected template and save it to a specified location. By default, the name of the copied template is prefixed with "Copy of". You can rename the template in the Properties dialog.
Properties	Display the selected template's properties.
Package/Repackage	Creates a template package file (.cwp) that users can install to their workstation.
