Create a repeating region in a template
Repeating regions enable template users to duplicate a specified region in a template as often as desired. A repeating
region is not necessarily an editable region.
To make content in a repeating region editable (for example, to allow a user to enter text in a table cell in a template-
based document), you must insert an editable region in the repeating region.
1
In the Document window, do one of the following:
•
Select the text or content you want to set as a repeating region.
•
Place the insertion point in the document where you want to insert the repeating region.
2
Do one of the following:
•
Select Insert > Template Objects > Repeating Region.
•
Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh), then select Templates > New Repeating Region.
•
In the Common category of the Insert bar, click the Templates button, then select Repeating Region from the pop-
up menu.
3
In the Name box, enter a unique name for the template region. (You cannot use the same name for more than one
repeating region in a template.)
Note:
When you name a region, do not use special characters.
4
Click OK.
