Renaming the existing user-defined template

When a new template is being created, the user may specify its name. Once the Table Composer dialogue for the new template is closed, the name is stored and is not editable in the Table Composer dialogue anymore. Even when the template is later modified, the name cannot be changed.

However, if there is a need to rename the table template, it can be done the following way:

The procedure to rename the existing template

1. Open the Document.

2. Select the table (i.e. the document item) for which the new template is to be created.

3. Open the Table Manager.

4. Select the existing template that is to be renamed.

5. Press [F2] on your keyboard or click the template name in the list with the mouse left button – see Note 1 below.

6. The name becomes editable.

7. Rename the template and press [Enter] on your keyboard.

8. That’s it.

Note 1: Either action (pressing [F2] or clicking the name) is a standard MS Windows feature for renaming items in tree controls.

Note 2: Only user-created templates can be renamed. It is not possible to rename a manufacturer’s template, even when it was modified by the user.
