Creating a New Document from a Template
A template is a special document that makes it easier to create a new document. If you
frequently use an existing document, such as Stationery,to start a new document, then you
should create a template, which uses the Illustrator Template (AIT) file format. You can
create your own template or use one provided by Illustrator. Illustrator comes with a vari-
ety of templates, such as Banner Ads, Boxes, Brochures, Business Cards, CD Cases, and
Stationery. When you create a new document from a template, the document appears as
untitled with the extension (AI), so you don't mistakenly make and save changes over the
template file.
