The New Document screen will appear. Under System Templates, choose the basic document.

Document Set-up

After selecting Basic Document, the Link Records window will appear. Associate the applicable records and click Update.

At the top of the screen, you have the option of naming your document by entering a description in the Name field.

Assign the document into a category for easier locating in the future.

Save and Close

To save the document, click on the Save button (fixed to the bottom of your document). There will be three different save options.
