Save as Document

The Document feature enables a particular documentation configuration to be 'remembered', linking the loaded template within the 'Report' dialog to the current highlighted Package. If a particular template is always used with a specific Package, and multiple cases of documentation exist to be propagated, saving these as Documents can ease document generation later.
