Title: Date Template
Post by: Jim Shearer on July 05, 2009, 11:42:14 PM
I would like to print the date in the same location on all 4 x 6 prints every time I start a new job.  I know how to add the date using "Floating Text".  When I save the the Layout, the print that I used saves too.  So when I recall the layout in a different job, the print used also shows up.

I'm not sure what to do to save the layout with the date only and not the inital print.

Thanks

Jim,
This is a little tricky.
When you save your layout, you don't need any image. You should be using the template thumbnail (the last of the thumbs) as if it was one of your images.
Then you save your layout clicking FILE and then the "L" button, and then name your layout, and save.

Here's the tricky part.
To use your layout, (retrieve) you *do not* use FILE RECALL and Layout.
You are supposed to use the CUSTOM, from print properties, and then put a dot in pre-defined layout. Find yours, and OK out.

This should work just fine.

File, Save, then "L" button.

That works great!  Thanks.

I really like this fourm instead of the e-mail.  I will be checking it frequently for tips and tricks.
