Can't seem to create a new template
Posted: 2024-02-21 16:27:15
This may have to do with my earlier posts about a bad migration from one user account to a new one, and having to copy a lot of Nisus settings and such from one account to another.
Now, I'm on a new MacBook Pro entirely, with no easy access to anything on the old Mac, although I still can fire it up if necessary. Ihave not been able to successfully copy any of my old templates to the new Templates folder.
The thing is, when I attempt to save something as a template, using "Save As" and "Document template" as the file type, the file does not automatically go to my Templates directory within the Document Manager. It saves as a .dot Word file in whatever my last used folder is. If I copy that file to Templates it does not show in the "Open from Document manager/Templates" list. And if I use "Open With" in Finder to open the file in NWP, Nisus does open it as a new, Untitle document, like it should. I cannot understand why it does not get saved as a proper NWP template. Here is what I see in my menus:
My problem may have something to do with my confusion about where Nisus Documents folder lives. I have created a new one, called "Nisus Documents New" in my ~/Documents folder, and I have gone into NWP Settings for Document Manager and chosen that new location.
Any help appreciated. For now, I can save a .dot template to the Desktop and use Open With to get a new file based on it, but I'd much prefer to have it showing up properly in NWP.
