What Is Stationery?

An Example of Stationery in the Out Box

Another use for stationery is to be able to view and change data outside of the application that created it. FIGURE 11.4 contains the result of printing a checklist from the Notepad.

FIGURE 11.4 : Using Checklist and Preview Stationery in the Out Box.


Notice that we are looking at the Out Box, where the checklist can be displayed as a print preview. In addition, it can be displayed (and edited!) as a regular old checklist even though we are not in the Notepad. This is another example of using stationery to create multiple editors for the same soup entry.
