1. Select the File > Save As... menu;
2. Click the Stationary button (in AppleWorks 5) or the Template button (in AppleWorks 6);
3. Name the document "AppleWorks WP Options" (in 5) or apparently whatever you like (in 6).
These templates are available when you wish to create a new document having the specified properties.
The template can be named "whatever you like" in either AppleWorks 5 or AppleWorks 6, and will be "available when you wish to create a new document having the specified properties." But if you name it "Fushia Text" or anything other than "AppleWorks WO Options" you will need to choose this particular template in Starting Points to get the specified properties.
If it is named "AppleWorks WP Options" the template becomes the default document automatically used by AppleWorks for any NEW word processor document created by:
clicking the word processor button in the button bar, or
clicking the Word Processor button in Starting points's Basic tab, or
pressing command-N (if that;s set to create a WP document), or
by choosing File > New > New word processor document.
