How to Access Templates in PageMaker 7
Desktop publishing software manufacturers provide users with templates---pre-formatted layouts and designs---to create publications quickly. In PageMaker 7, Adobe Systems Incorporated has made accessing the templates easy through the use of a tool called the "Template Palette" or "Templates" window; it's preset to open automatically when you start the program. Once the window opens, simply select a template image that best fits your idea of the publication design and then create and edit your publication.

If your PageMaker 7 doesn't show the "Template Palette" when you open the program, go to "Window," then "Plug-in Palettes" and select "Show Template Palettes" from the menu to access the palette window. To make certain that the palette appears automatically next time, click on the box beside "Show next time PageMaker opens" at the bottom-left corner of the palette window.
