No project can be open when creating a template. To create a new template either click on the New button on the main toolbar and select Boring/Well Template or select File > New > Boring/Well Template. The New Template form will be displayed. This form has two tabs for the layout and page setup.

The following information can be edited on the Layout tab:

Inches or Millimeters: The units for the width and length of the page. These units will be used when specifying the layout of the legend. If the Page Size is “Custom”, the units can be set to either inches or millimeters.

 

Custom Width: If the page size is specified as “custom”, the page horizontal width in inches must be specified.

 

Custom Length: If the page size is specified as “custom”, the page vertical length in inches must be specified.
