Finally place the cursor where you want it to be upon opening. Now you're ready to turn that document into stationery. Years ago, I think with the intro of System 7, Apple introduced the ability to turn a document into a Stationery Pad. Watch closely and you can see the document disappear, then reappear with the stationery icon - a pad instead of a single page. These documents can be located anywhere on your Mac or removable drives.
Several applications provide their own interfaces for stationery creation.
When you use these interfaces sometimes the actual document you have set up remains intact and a Save As is done to create the stationery. In its save dialog box, you click a radio button called Stationery. If you allow the stationery to be saved there, you can further use the AppleWorks interface, shown here in a screenshot , to select this stationery for use later. This poses the same back up issue as AppleWorks. In the demo screen shot , notice the MacCentral Template file has a regular document icon.
