Editing Work Permits
You can edit a work permit using the Microsoft Word program. To change the default format of a work permit, you can change the Word template file called WPTemplate.docx. The file is stored in a location based on settings in Tools > Options > File Locations. You can reformat or change the text as needed.
Tip: You may want to save your custom template with a different name to leave the default WPTemplate.docx template intact. You can then use File Locations to redirect the default template to your custom template file.
Variable Names
Important: In the template, do NOT edit or delete the fields with brackets { }. EasyPower writes to these fields and they should not be changed.
