UPCOMING WEBINAR: From Thousands of Tables To One Clear Story: using AI in survey analysis When a Displayr document is created, it is created from a document template (e.g., Blank Document, Brooklyn, or a custom document template). Sometimes a document is created using one document template, and it is desirable to apply another document template to the document. This is done by:
Method
Copying the page master
- Click page master in the document that you want to modify.
- In a separate tab in your browser, open or create a new document using the document template you wish to apply (the source document) and go to its page master.
- Select the page or pages you want to use from the Master panel.
- Right-click on the page or pages and select Copy.
- Return to the page master of the document you want to modify.
- Right-click on the Master panel and select Paste.
- (Optional) The added pages will have the same names as the default pages. To tell them apart, right-click on the page and select Rename.
- (Optional) Re-order the pages by selecting them and dragging and dropping them into the desired position in the Master pane.
- Exit the page master in both documents.
Note: You can't delete the default pages in the page master or the placeholders from default page masters. The updated document will contain pages for both templates.
Applying page layouts
You can apply the page master layouts to your document pages by:
- Selecting one or multiple pages.
- Go to Appearance > Layout > Page layout in Properties
.
(Optionally) Adding data sets and copying pages
If the document template contains data sets that you wish to include in the new document, these need to be manually added to the new document.
If the document template contains pages, these can be copied and pasted from one document to another.
