Regardless of the suggestions previously made that Pathagoras considers template as an essentially 'blank' document which provides 'shape' (styles, headers, footers, etc.) to the clauses that will be poured into it, a template can be much more that that. Indeed, a template can be a complete document which is laden with optional and options text blocks which the user will decide to keep or discard at the time the document is called up for assembly.

   Oftentimes, however, a template is something in the middle. It will be a document that provides the shape, etc., and maybe some introductory language.

   AND (and this is the purpose behind this page) the template may contain a substantial amount of introductory text. You may want your selected clauses to be inserted not at the very top of the document (the default insertion location) but at a point somewhat below that location (such as immediately after the introductory text).

   Pathagoras can oblige. You just need to set a 'StartHere' location in the template. With the 'StartHere' location set in a template, Pathagoras will first lay down the template when you initiate a document assembly session, but before pouring in the selected clauses, it will first jump to the 'StartHere' location.

   Pathagoras recognized 3 types of StartHere locations. A 'StartHere' location can be (1) a particular page, (2) a particular section or (3) a specified 'point'. (A 'StartHere point' is marked by a standard Word bookmark which has been named "StartHere".)
 
   You can use the Templates Screen to automatically set the 'StartHere' page, section or point for you. Display the template.  and place the cursor at the point you want Pathagoras to begin inserting selected clauses. Then, display the Template Screen and click 'Create StartHere' point from the available options.

You can also set a StartHere point manually. Recall the template to your editing screen and place the cursor at the point you want Pathagoras to begin inserting selected clauses. Click Insert|Bookmark from Word's menu bar. Name the bookmark "StartHere." Save the template.
