Completing the template

Now that you have modified the

masters, written the validation rules, and enhanced the first page, you need to give the finishing touches to the template before creating an installation file.

Follow the instructions in Chapter 8, Publishing Validation Rules and Diagrams, to add a title block, select a theme, and insert the page name field into the title shape in the background page. Then save your document as a template to DFMD_M.vstm, if it is metric units, or DFMD_U.vstm, if it is US units.

Test your template by creating a new document from it, and then resize the first page to a square.
