New Word template to Kameleon (short formula)
If the document category has default values (smart folder defaults), you can drag the old document into the document category and the template that is created will use the settings defined in the category - for example, margins, styles and metadata.
Of course, you can change some values, for example choose whether to add a logo or you can add metadata fields if necessary.
Please note that the direct formats made to the document are preserved. If the document uses the same styles as the layout template, they will adapt to the layout template.
