| I want
to move a layout to a different file!
In Goldenseal small
business software, you might
want to move a layout to another file in any
of these cases:
- Move a customized layout from a test file to your regular company
file
- Restore an older layout from a backup file (reverting)
- Share the same layout with another company file
To move layouts, you can either use a copy/paste
for a single layout, or import/export for all your layouts.
HINT-- If you don't like a customized layout,
you can also revert to the
original version of the layout
and start over.
Copy and Paste for Layouts
To copy a layout, follow these steps:
- Choose Custom
Layouts from the Options menu, and choose the
submenu for the type of layout.
- Use the popup fields at upper left to locate the layout
you'd like to move.
- Choose Select All from the Edit menu.
- Choose Copy from the Edit menu.
To paste a layout somewhere else, follow these
steps:
- If necessary, quit/exit from the current file, and open the
new file.
- Choose Custom
Layouts from the Options
menu, and choose the submenu for the type of layout.
- Use the popup fields at upper left
to locate the layout you'd like to move.
- Choose Select All from the Edit menu.
- Choose Clear from the Edit menu,
to erase the current contents.
- Choose Paste from the Edit menu.
HINT-- You can copy/paste from one type of
layout to another. Goldenseal will only copy over the fields
that make sense in the new layout, so you may get some blanks! Import/Export for Layouts
To export layouts, follow these steps:
- Choose Export from the File
menu, choose Other Items from the submenu,
and choose a layout type from the second
submenu.
- Choose a file type (Layout
is best for most uses), and whether to
include stock layouts.
- Choose the location where the
export file will be saved, and the name of the file.
- Click Save.
- Goldenseal will export all layout data to the
export file.
To import layouts from somewhere
else, follow these steps:
- If necessary, quit/exit from
the current file, and open the new file.
- Choose Import from the File
menu, choose Other Items from the submenu,
and choose a layout type from the second
submenu.
- Choose the file to import (you
may need to navigate to a different location
on your hard drive).
- Goldenseal will import the
layouts into the current file.
