Nisus Writer Pro - Manual (Page 83)

Creating Documents 63
• Templates
Lists all the files you have saved to the Templates group, making any of those files available to
open with all their existing content and attributes as Untitled. You can learn more about the
Nisus New File and other template documents in the section “Understanding Template
(Stationery) Documents” beginning on page 115.
• Backups
If you set your Saving preferences to Save duplicate copy of each file to another location,
Nisus Writer Pro adds a Backups folder group to the groups available in the left panel of the
Document Manager, as is visible in the background of Figure 57.
Create special groups of files
You may have a special hobby with various files associated with it scattered around your hard drive,
or collected in the All Managed Files group of the Document Manager. Perhaps you are an amateur
chef. You have recipes in one folder, lists of and receipts for tools you have or wish to purchase in
another folder, locations of farmers’ markets within a 20 mile radius of your home in a third folder.
These folders and their files might even be on different hard drives or with the recipes saved in the
computer’s shared folder so various users have access to them. Or, you may have files spread
throughout your hard drive that deal with various correspondence, but each has a hint that it is a
“letter”. The Document Manager can help you keep these “together”.
Add a Custom Group
A Custom Group is a way to keep track of diverse files in different locations on your hard drive(s)
which may be related to each other in a special way.
1. Choose the menu command Window > Document Manager.
2. Click the Plus (+) button in the lower left corner of the Document Manager window.
3. In the dialog that appears, click Add Custom Group
4. Type the name you want to use in the Group Name field as illustrated in Figure 57.
5. Click Add Group.
!
As explained in the dialog, a Custom Group will display any files that you add to it. You
cannot move files to a Custom Group, you can only add (aliases to these) files. The Custom
Group you create keeps track of the files added to it, regardless of where the files may be
(moved) on your hard drive(s).
!
Because only an alias to the file appears in the Custom Group, the same file can appear in
more than one Custom Group.
