13To create a new collection, open the "File" menu and choose "New". Several
14fields need to be filled out -- but you can change their values later if you
15need to, in the design view.
16<p></p>
17"Collection title" is the text displayed at the top of your collection's home page. It can
18be any length.
19<p></p>
20"Description of content"
21should describe, in as much detail as possible, what the collection is about.
22Use the [Enter] key to break it into paragraphs.
23<p></p>
24Finally you must specify whether the new collection will have the same
25appearance and metadata sets as an existing collection, or whether to start a
26default "New Collection".
27<p></p>
28Click "OK" to create the collection. If you chose "New Collection" you are
29prompted for the metadata sets to use in it. You can choose more than one, and
30you can add others later.
31<p></p>
32Clicking "Cancel" returns you to the main screen immediately.
