Using BarTender's Sample Documents

Because designing templates on your own may be time-consuming, a number of standard documents can be installed by using the BarTender installation package. You can modify any of these documents to your own requirements. Often, you can even save time by modifying an existing document; if a sample document is similar to what you want to design, then you do not need to start from scratch.

Viewing the sample documents in BarTender is an easy way to discover the many features and capabilities of the application. After you have loaded a document, you can examine the various dialog settings to determine what features and customization options are available.
