Initial values for parameters

You can use the PREPOPULATE keyword to allow the Master Template developer to provide initial values for parameters in a Document Template. These values are used by the Document Template Editor when a new Document Template is created based on this Master Template. When the Document Template developer is creating the Document Template, these values are filled in.

This value has no effect during composition.

You cannot use PREPOPULATE with the parameters TEXTBLOCK, FORM, and WIZARD.

 PARAMETER TYPE Name_of_parameter PREPOPULATE "value"

An example is provided here.

 PARAMETER TEXT Sender
     DESCRIPTION "The name of sender of this document"
     PREPOPULATE "J. Doe"

Invalid PREPOPULATE values are silently ignored and do not appear in the Document Template Editor.
