In the Template Editor you will be working in 5 different "Panels". Each panel has its own toolbar with different function shortcuts which relate to what the panel is intended for.
❑ 
Library Properties. Displays information about the Template Archive
you are working with (the physical file name and location, etc), as well as some additional functions like exporting a template to create a Stand-Alone Template.
❑ 
Template Properties. Shows information about the currently selected template. Set the Preview and Publish folders in this panel.
❑ 
HTML Editor. The primary editing window (along with the Full Screen Editor) where you will be creating your HTML Template.
❑ 
HL7 Message. Contains and displays the "source" HL7 message you are using as the data source for testing while in design mode.
❑ 
Preview Document. Choose this panel to render your HTML source code in our embedded web-browser. From this panel you will also be able to create an example PDF document, preview your template in your external default web-browser (Firefox, Chrome, IE, etc), as well as perform a sample "Publish" operation.
Use the Toolbars and Menus to navigate the software. Below are some common icon images you will see with links to what they represent.
