Create, view, or edit a document template in Amicus Editor

Use the Amicus Editor to create and save a new template, or to edit an existing Amicus Editor template. Note that you can also download an existing template to work on locally if you like—you may edit commands and variables directly, as text.

Alternatively, use Word to create and edit a template—see Which template format: Amicus Editor or Amicus Word?.

        To change to full-screen mode, click the button at the top right corner of the window. Create Table, an additional formatting control, is available in full-screen mode.
