Creating a Template

To help the company enforce these rules, you will create a Template that the eLearning developers will use to create future courses. This Template will help in producing consistent content and design across projects. It will also speed up the development of the eLearning courses by reusing common designs, properties, and content:

  1. Save and close every open project.
  2. Use the File | New Project | Project Template menu item to start the creation of a new template. (Make sure to use the Project Template item, not the Project From Template item.) Alternatively, you can use the command + T (Mac)/Ctrl + T (Windows) menu item.
  3. In the New Project Template box, select the 1024 x 627 resolution, and click OK.
