tip Tip:

 

As a simple example, you could easily create a template so that all new dated entries start off as follows:

 

Dear Diary,

 

It's Friday February 2, 2001at 05:08 PM.

 

Today my day was

 

Today I learned

 

Today I was grateful for

 

Today I was sorry for

 

Today I was proud to have

 

Today I was sad about

 

Today I was happy about

 

 

note Notes:

 

When a template is used, the template entry is loaded when the dated entry is created.  It is then parsed to replace any macros.

 

Using templates you can specify exactly how each new dated entry looks when it is created.  All fonts, colors, margins, paragraph format settings, graphics and other objects are retained.  Additionally, you can use macros to insert things like the date and time. After it is created you can add to it and change it any way you wish, then save it for the selected date.
