TOPIC: Moving items from one Template to another

I'm a newbe using HIP so have patience....
Is there a easy way of moving items from one template to another. I am trying to make up my perfect template and I want to take whole sections from one template I have found and move them to the template I am working on.
Another issue I am having is changing the type of page from one having say one "damage panel" to a page that has a damage panel and a selection panel. As an example, a section of the template I am using has a damage panel only for "Exterior Doors" but I want to add a selection panel so I can indicate what the door is made of or if it is a sliding patio door.

Don't know if I am explaining what I am looking for clearly, but if anyone can understand what I am trying to do and they have a solution, I would love to hear it.

Thanks
Dan

Also on the Client Info page is there any way to change state to province and zip to postal code. That also goes for the address book?

Thanks,
Dan

Hi Dan,

You can change state to province by going to Edit->Company Information and change your country to Canada.

You can only copy narratives between two templates. Open up two copies of HIP side by side with a different template in each, then use copy/paste buttons. You can highlight and copy as many comments as you want as well.

You'll need to create a new 1 damage panel/1 selection panel tab, then copy & paste the narratives (avoid using cut). Then delete the old tab.

Thanks Dominic it never even occured to me that I could have two HIP's up at the same time. I was afraid I would have to close open one, copy, the close it, open the other template, then paste. I much longer process than just typing in everything again.

Thanks for your fast reply.

No problem. It's one of the cool features of HIP that other programs can't do!

Dominic, I'd like to be able to move stuff from one template to another, but can I run 2 copies of HIP side by side on my Mac?  I tried going into Terminal and using this command...

open -n /Applications/Home Inspector Pro 3.app

...but my Mac didn't like the spaces and said that file "does not exist."  If I simply rename HIP without spaces, will it blow something up in your program?
