When you create a new journal entry, the entry is normally blank. However, you can design your own entry templates. When you select a template, the template text is inserted in your entry.
You can also choose to have an entry template automatically inserted in all new journal entries. Or different journals can use different templates.
Create an entry template
The easiest way to create an entry template is to use an existing entry:
- Create a journal entry.
- Enter the text you want to use for your template. You can format the text using different fonts, styles and colors (see: Format Text).
- Click the More button (···) at the top of the entry and choose Entry Templates.
- Choose Save this entry as template.
You can create as many templates as you like.
