How to Create Contract in LBM by Merging it With the Template

Local Booking Manager has the option to create contracts by merging them with the appropriate template.

After your Template is ready in docx. format, it should be saved in an easily accessible location as it has to be merged to each reservation separately (for example, your desktop).
Template can contain information about the agent or guest or both.

2. You can open the merged contract in Word by clicking on magnifying glass icon 
3. If you want to send it by email select envelope sign
