A layout can be created in two ways; from the Project window, or from a View.
From the Project window double-clicking the Layout icon creates a new layout.
An existing layout is opened by double-clicking a layout name in the list of
layout documents in the project. From the view choosing the View - Layout... menu
choice creates a layout.
A layout can be created with a pre-defined layout template. When creating a
layout from a view, the user is automatically requested to select a layout
template. In the Layout window, a layout template can be selected by the Layout-Use Template ... menu choice.
