Stationery

As a developer, you can create and add new data types to the Workspace as stationery. To create a new object from stationery, the user double-clicks the stationery pad. (The user can also select the pad and choose Make New from the File menu.) A new folder or document appears in the same container as the stationery and is automatically opened. The new object is named by appending the suffix "-new" to the original object's name.

Users can make their own stationery. To make stationery, the user first creates a new object. The user makes the desired changes to the object and chooses Make Stationery from the File menu. The new stationery appears in the same container as the original object. The stationery is named by appending the suffix "stationery" to the original object's name. The user can create stationery from any document or folder.

When a new object is created on the Workspace desktop, it is placed from the top right moving downward and then to the left, continuing from right to left. When a new object is created in a folder, it is placed from the top left moving to the right and then downward, continuing from left to right.
