Proceed exactly like designing a badge template. Use a custom size and enter values for width and height which meet your needs. For example, if you plan to print a dossier on a regular printer using 8.5” x 11” paper, you might choose 8” wide by 10” high. (Remember, many printers will not print to the edge of the paper. Metric users should use suitable values for their paper sizes.)
If you know you plan to use the dossier feature when designing your database, you will probably include many additional data fields (up to the limit mentioned above) to contain data only intended for the dossier display. Such information might include home address; blood type; telephone number; social security number; or other data not normally displayed on identification badges.
During the design of the dossier template you can allow holders for as many of these data fields as you wish. Of course, you can include bitmaps for company logos, for example; photographs (including ones intended only for the dossier) and signatures.
You should consider the dossier template as a big badge template (although it does not have to be big, of course) and all the features available to a badge layout are available for the dossier.
When the design is complete, save it to a .CTM file. Use a name which you will recognize later. DOSSIER.CTM might be a good choice; it is up to you. You can design as many dossier templates as you wish. You might want to design one sized for display on the screen, rather than for the printer, or to include different subsets of the database information.
