A new slot is created with a generic name, such as newspaper_Slot_1. There are three ways to create a slot:

• By clicking the Create Slot

  Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

     Slot button
     in the Slot pane of the
     Slots Tab.
     This creates a slot,
     but does not assign it to any class.
     The slot can later be
     attached
     to one or more classes.
  

• By right-clicking in the Slot Browser in the Slots Tab and selecting Create slot from the Slot menu. This is identical to the previous operation.

  Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

• By selecting a class in the Classes tab and then clicking the Create Slot

  Error creating thumbnail: Unable to save thumbnail to destination

     button in the
     Template Slots pane.
     This creates a slot and
     attaches
     it to the selected class.
  

You can use the Slot Editor to edit the properties of the slot.
