Document Type Missing from Template

[armsys]

When defining Template Item, the Document is missing from the list. Why and how does it happen?

[ashwken]

The Item in question is based on a Text (rtf) Type template.

To create a Document Type template, Insert a new Item into the Templates Folder based on the default Document Template.

Hi ashwken,

Is Document already existing in the system templates folder?
I followed your suggestion to create another Document template. Then, the list still contains no Document.

Please see the attached zipfile which contains a series of screenshots that show Template creation as described in the earlier post (http://www.kinook.com/Forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=3329).

Hi Ashwken,

Thanks for your walking me through the creation of a template. I'm sorry that doesn't answer my orignal question.

When drag & drop various webpages into UR, some webpages become a "text" info items while others "doument" info items.

I did create a document template but it won't show up in the droplist when attempting to change from "text" to "document" template.

Why are the differences?
Why can I not change the template from "text' to "document"? I can't because the document option is missing from the droplist.

This has more to do with what or how you bring the material into UR.

For example: I highlighted part of this message thread, then drug it to UR, a Document Item was created for the selected Text. If I copy the same selected text to the clipboard then go to an Item in UR and do a Ctrl-V I may get the clipboard contents as Text or as a Document - depends on the following setting Tools | Options | Import - Prefer Text/Rich Text Clipboard Formats.

Also, you'll get different results from the right-click menu Paste Special choices.

I don't know why you can't change the Template Type from Text to Doc, probably has something to do with the viewing properties of an Item for the internal broswer. But it doesn't really matter why you can't, suffice to say that's not the way it's done.
