On the Language Settings tab in the Configure document workspace, you manage the document languages of a Disclosure Management document. For each language, you can assign a separate format template for MS Word and a separate template for MS PowerPoint.

One of the configured languages serves as the document's primary language (Default Language). The stored templates serve as the starting point for new Word and PowerPoint files that you create for chapters in the respective document language.

To open the Language Settings tab in Disclosure Management, proceed as follows:

1

Open a document and click Configure document.

2

Open the Language Settings tab. It is displayed, for example, as follows:

In Lucanet Disclosure Management, you store a template for MS Word and a template for MS PowerPoint for each document language on the Language Settings tab. You find the Format template field in the MS Word and MS PowerPoint areas of the selected language. You can add, download, replace, and remove templates for both programs in the same way.

You can store the following file formats as templates in Lucanet Disclosure Management:

ProgramFile formats
MS Word.docx and .dotx
MS PowerPoint.pptx and .potx

The maximum file size for Word templates is 5 MB.

The respective template is used when you create a new file of the corresponding program for a chapter in this document language. For more information, see Creating and Editing Word Files and Creating and Editing PowerPoint Files.

For PowerPoint, a template changes neither existing chapter files nor externally uploaded presentations.
