Planning Your Document

Before starting with the actual writing, you should experiment with a lot of dummy text to come up with a desired layout. Once you are satisfied with the overall look, you can translate your sample into an appropriate array of page, character, and paragraph styles and save it as a template file that can be used as the basis for each chapter of your document. If layout changes are desired when writing the actual document, you can make the appropriate changes to the template and next time a chapter is opened the changes to the template will be noted and you can accept or reject as required.
