Create Group Control Template

數位出版設計:自動化篇-知識美學/數位美學之建構方法

群體主控文件可以整合來自不同範本的文件，是經常性、大量性出版，最佳的應用技術。

建立主控文件範本

Download exercise materials: Demo template,  Doc1, Doc2

Create a new file from previous templates.

Modify the styles.

For example:

If the main color system of the original template is "Blue-Yellow", change it into "Purple-Green".

Make it a blank and plain page with one column only.

However, you have to keep the Header and Footer for now and remove them later.

Render it to a Control Document .dot.

Compose Cover Page

編輯封面

Create a new file from Control Document .dot.

Compose the cover.

You may use 'Text Box' to set position, if it is necessary.

真正的封面不會用 Word 標題，而會特別設計。

但我們當成練習，來觀察主控文件如何控制各階層的標題。
