Stationery Editor Mode Pane

Use the Stationery Editor Mode Pane to add new stationery, or modify or delete existing stationery. Stationery is a text-based watermark that will appear underneath the document contents: much like pre-printed stationery in traditional printing applications. Keep in mind that stationery appears underneath the text and images placed in the document. Content in the stationery may be covered by images with a similar background color to the background color of the document (e.g., images with a white background on a white piece of paper will hide stationery behind their white background), in ways that may appear counter-intuitive to the eye. The stationery will not, however, have a marginal overlap from text or the transparent area of an image placed in a document.

The Stationery Editor Mode pane appears along the right side of the ePrint Main Window workspace.
