Creating New Documents

You can create new, blank documents directly in your repository. Laserfiche supports creating new Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, or Excel spreadsheets, as well as new documents with no contents. For example, you might choose to create a blank Word document and then open it to fill it with your content. You could also create blank documents as placeholders, for instance, to represent physical objects in a records management scenario.

To create a new document, open the folder in which you want to create it. Right-click and point to New, then select Word Document, PowerPoint Presentation, Excel Spreadsheet, or Blank Document. You will be prompted to provide information about the document, including name, template and fields, tags, and locations, as you would for an imported document; see Importing Files for details. You can then open and modify the document as you would any other document of that type.
