Tony, you could try the following:
Make sure you have opened one of your
favorites folders and right click in window and choose “Apply template…”.
Select your desired template.
At the bottom right of your MetaStock
screen there is an icon to the right of the < > icons. Left click on it
and choose the Options Tab. Click on the “Use chart as template” - also
check “Change all charts in a layout”. Hit OK and now you can use
the < > icons at the bottom right of the screen to rotate through
your current favorites folder with the one template.
Regards,
Gordon Sutherland

Reming templates
Hi Tony
Sorry but I don't know how to apply a different
template to each different set of favourites.
Kind regards

>> Delete all smart charts, or all MSSmart
folders. That gets rid of the existing smart charts.
>> MetaStock creates new charts (and folders
if necessary) the next time the security is opened.
