Setting up default stationery

If you plan to use certain settings every time you create a document, set up a
document as default stationery (or Options stationery) that opens
automatically whenever you create a new document of that type. For
example, you might want to change the default font used in a new word
processing document.

Creating stationery

To create a stationery document, prepare a document with the settings and
information you want to save as stationery, and then follow these steps to
save the document:

1.

Choose Save As from the File menu.

2.

In the Save as dialog box, type a name for the document in the File name box.

If you’re setting up default stationery, there are specific naming
conventions you must use.

1

If you’re setting up regular stationery, you can save the document as
any name. It’s best to give regular stationery a name that you can easily
identify later (such as Letterhead).

From the Save as type pop-up menu, choose AppleWorks Stationery (*.cws).

AppleWorks adds the .CWS extension to the filename.
