Print template pages are used to determine the look and content of pages in your printed output (if you are generating Word output). If necessary, you can use different print template pages for different purposes (e.g., title page, TOC, chapters, index).
Process
- Adding a Template Page File to a Project and Opening Template Pages
- (Optional) Adding Proxies:
- (Optional) Inserting Heading Variables:
- Specifying Section Breaks and Template Pages
Note You can use page layouts as an alternative to template pages. Page layouts are similar to template pages, but are more flexible and easier to use. The general rule is that page layouts are recommended for print-based output, and template pages continue to be the best method for automatically adding headers, footers, breadcrumbs, and more in multiple topics for online output. Another difference between page layouts and template pages is that page layouts can be used for Adobe PDF, Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint, whereas template pages can be used only for Microsoft Word when creating print-based output.
