How do I copy an existing template?

Scenario: You've created a template and saved it so it shows up in the list on the Export HTML dialog. Now you want to create a new template but based on the first one, to save editing time if for no other reason. You've tried the 'Add...' button but that simply creates a new template in the Edit HTML dialog but based on the current Catalogue view. How then do you copy an existing template?

Open the Export HTML dialog and click the template to be copied so that it is highlighted. Now click the 'Duplicate...' button. The Edit HTML dialog opens with the source template's HTML code but with the title, 'Untitled'. Before doing any other editing, you are advised to name the template with the name you will use in PortWeb and then save it. It will now show up in the export HTML template list with this new name. You simply select it and click 'Edit...' to start making your changes.
