FILTER TEMPLATES

Access the filter templates window from the WORK menu.  Use the filter templates window for creating, renaming, and deleting filter templates.  Filter templates are used to save and restore specialized filter settings.

The fourteen available filters, the USE menu item switches, and the OPTION menu switches comprise a FILTER TEMPLATE.  Filter templates are stored as resources in the FP folder within the files:  Filters.FP.n {n = 0 through 24}.  If a Filters.FP.n file cannot be found by File Passage (FP), then FP will create a new Filters.FP.n file on demand.  You can create up to 25 filter template files.  A new filter template is always named "Original.n", where n is the file number, and will appear at the bottom of the list.

SWITCHES IN THE FILTER TEMPLATE

Each WORK menu function's USE and OPTION switch states are remembered separately in each filter template.  Setting a switch in one function will not affect the same switches' state in another function, or in another filter template.
