Saving the current layout selection

Specifying layouts and files for the current package

You can save the current layout selection in a favorite file and retrieve it later when needed. This way, you can assemble different layout combinations for the individual contact groups without having to define them from scratch each time you change the contact group.

Tip: You can also load a favorite file of this type into the Select layouts dialog box of the Print Layouts tool.
