Open a Layout

Available from the Design tab, the Open Layout command provides a means of changing the layout to a layout that was previously saved using the File > Save Layout As command.

Normally, layouts are saved with the LYT filename extension. This extension helps you locate the files.

Tip! The lower part of the File menu shows recently opened layouts. You can select one from this list to open the selected layout.

Steps

From the Design tab, select File > Open Layout.
Select the layout file to use.
Click Open.

The layout appears on the Design tab.

Tip! You can also automate the selection of layouts. For more information, see About Recommended Layout Selection and Manage Recommended Layout Settings.
