About the Guidebook Design Template Wizard

1. As you start a new facilitator or participant guide, you are prompted to Save 

• LeaderGuide Pro Facilitator Guides and Participant Guides are Word documents

• So you must Save them - like any other Word file.

2. After saving, you will see the Guidebook Design Template wizard

• Use this wizard to add at least a starting point course outline into your new guidebook

• LeaderGuide Pro provides some starting point options, based on the LeaderGuide Pro document structure of Modules and Lessons 

  • Modules and Lessons are key components of every LeaderGuide Pro Guidebook

  • Every Facilitator Guide and Participant Guide has at least one Module with at least one Lesson

• The Design Template wizard is set up to hold a Heading 1 - Heading 2 outline format

  • Heading 1 is a Module (Topic)

    • Heading 2 is a Lesson (Subtopic)

•  The wizard also includes placeholders for Lesson times and Module goals

   

3. There are four key sections in the Design Template Wizard
