USING TEMPLATES
LESSON 2: TEMPLATES
Less than a thousand kilometers from Gutenbergs home town of Mainz, Germany, an Italian cathedrals bell tower
in the province of Pisa stands as a reminder of the importance of a strong foundation.
Templates are the foundation for which you will build your iBook. Just like any foundation in construction, ensuring
you have a strong foundation is vital to the structural integrity of the entire building project. Creating iBooks is no
different.
Templates give you pre-formatted chapters, sections, pages, styles, fonts, and place-holder images. If you like a
template overall but wish to change certain elements, this is certainly possible. You can even then Save as
Template...and make the new modified template your own. Templates can also be imported from the Internet.
Selecting a template, however, should not be your first step in creating your iBook. It is highly encouraged that you
outline the chapters and sections that you plan on incorporating into the iBook. This will greatly help you with template building.
