You can search the templates by selecting the template criteria in the left hand column and restart your search by clicking the Reset Selections Button. You can click the Options menu below each template to preview the templates, and once your decide click Select under the Options menu.

The blank template will appear on the right complete with your listing details and your contact information. On the left you will see the editing panel. For multiple page documents you can click each page to edit.
