Hi Anne! Thanks for your response. When will your book be out? So are the correct steps to use a template: use vo-left or right arrow to select the placeholder text and then delete the placeholder? And then can I just enter text right in that same spot? Will deleting the placeholder text leave the formatting as it was designed in the template? I just went to the first template that is not blank which is the note taking template on my computer. I've interacted with the layout area and I see header, the body and the footer areas. So when I go to the body area I see subject, title and some other stuff beneath that which I assume is latin. It would be nice if they would make it somewhat understandable to those of us who are not Latin scholars. the text below subject seems like it would be a list of some sort. How do I find this out? I would like to have some idea of how things will look before I print them. I appreciate any help you can give. Jim
