Selecting Files to Edit

You can either create new page design files or modify existing ones. Usually it is easier to select the page design that is closest to what you want and then modify it. To save the new design and also keep the original design intact, you would then use the Save As option instead of Save.

>> To select a different file without leaving the "Page Designer"

•From the "Page Designer" editing screen select the Open menu item from the"File" menu.

A standard file opening dialog box will appear, allowing you to select a folder and file name of an existing page design file. This will initially list all the page design files (*.pag) in Solar Fire’s Pages sub folder of its main User Files folder. You should not normally change this folder, as Solar Fire requires its user-defined pages to remain in this folder.

To select any file that is listed, either highlight the name of the file and then choose the OK button, or just double-click on the file name. If you have made any changes to the existing page design, then you will be asked if you wish to save it. The editing screen will reappear, showing the newly selected page design.

>> To create an entirely new file

•From the "File Management" dialog box select any page design file and click on the Edit button. Then select the New menu item from the "File" menu.
