================================================================ ==

The information in this article applies to:

 == Microsoft Works for the Macintosh, versions 1.x, 2.x, 3.x and 4.0 == 

= SUMMARY =

In Microsoft Works versions 1.x and 2.x, the default settings cannot be redefined. However, once a document is set up with the appropriate settings, the document can be saved and used as a template to start the program each time.

EXAMPLE - Works 1.x:


 * 1) Set up a Word Processing document with the appropriate font, font size, margins, and any other desired settings.
 * 2) Save the document with a descriptive name, for example, “WP Template”.
 * 3) To protect the template document from being saved with unwanted additions or changes, lock it at the Finder level.
 * 4) To begin a new Word Processing document with these same settings, double-click the icon for that document at the Finder level to start the application with the desired settings.

EXAMPLE - Works 2.x:


 * 1) Set up a Word Processing document with the appropriate font, font size, margins, and any other desired settings.
 * 2) Choose Save As from the File menu, give the document a descriptive name, for example, “WP Template”, and choose the Stationery option.
 * 3) To begin a new Word Processing document with these same settings, double-click the icon for that document at the Finder level to start the application with the desired settings.

= MORE INFORMATION =

In Microsoft Works 3.0 and 4.0, certain default settings are defined in the Preferences dialog. The Preferences dialog is accessed from the Edit menu in Microsoft Works 3.0 and from the Tools menu in Microsoft Works 4.0. Stationery documents may be created in Works 3.0 and Works 4.0 by selecting Save As from the File menu. In the Save As dialog, choose Stationery from the File Format options.
