Creating templates
If the preset templates do not meet your requirements, you can create a template based on styles that you create, or styles taken from other templates. For example, if you regularly put together a newsletter, you can save the page layout settings and styles to a template.
When you save a template, CorelDRAW allows you to add reference information, such as pagination, folds, category, industry, and other important notes. Although adding template information is optional, doing so makes it easier to organize and locate templates later on. For example, adding descriptive notes to a template lets you subsequently search for that template by entering text from the notes.

If you save a template to a previous version of CorelDRAW Graphics Suite (13.0 or earlier), you cannot add reference information.

The Designer notes text box supports HTML markup, so you can paste such content as graphics and hyperlinks. Graphics pasted from an HTML file are referenced from their original location and are not embedded in the CorelDRAW document. Therefore, if you plan to share a template with others, make sure that they have access to the location of the graphics. If you paste formatted text (also known as “rich text”) from a Rich Text Format (RTF) or HTML file, the formatting properties of the text are preserved.

You can also enter designer notes by copying content from another document and pasting it into the Designer notes text box.
