### 8.8. The "Save Document As Template" dialog box

This dialog box is displayed by menu item Options → Customize Configuration → Save Document as Template. Basically, it allows the user to specify a name for the newly created document template.

The name of a document template may contain any character, including spaces.

The name of a document template may be identical to the name of one of the existing document templates. This allows to replace an existing document template by a new one.

In the above screen shot, we can see that:

- The user is creating a new document template called "Quote".

- Previously, the user has replaced predefined template called "Refentry" by a "Refentry" document template of its own.

- Previously, the user has created another document template called "XMLmind article".

#### 8.8.1. Removing a previously defined document template

This dialog box also allows to remove user-defined document templates. In order to do this, simply click on a template in the "Existing document templates" list and then click on the Remove button.

Note that this operation takes immediate effect: clicking on the Cancel button of the "Save Document As Template" dialog box will not cancel the deletion of the template[11].

You can only remove the document templates you have created. You cannot remove predefined (grayed) document templates.

In the above screen shot, notice how removing user-defined template called "Refentry" would restore the predefined template having the same name.

[11] The Cancel button of the "Save Document As Template" dialog box just cancels the action of creating a new template.
