These texts are there to be shown on the automated/default pages that 
will be used on the "Creation Page" and "Grid/LiveTable" pages. They 
will allow to explain what happens when you create a document of this 
type or view the list of documents of this type.

The creation of the document type would be done before, in the screen 
where the list of documents type is presented.
What is missing is a "save" button.

This tab will allow to configure the settings for the Grid/LiveTable 
that would be automatically used to display the list of documents of 
this type.
LiveTable is a cool new component part of XE 1.9 that allows to display 
pages in a nice  and extensible way

This tab allows to configure default presentation sheets and templates 
for documents of this type.
A sheet is a script allowing to display a page of this type in 
create/view/edit mode.
A template is a sample document of this type that can be used as a 
template when creating a document of this type. This could/would be used 
for example when create a page of this type when using the "create page" 
feature in the right hand side panel of XE or by clicking on a "?" when 
a link to a new page is created. At this point there could be an new 
intermediary screen allowing to nicely choose among the types of 
documents the user wishes to create.

See the explanation before. With a sheet and a template the document 
type application should still work. A default generic script should be 
used for the sheet and an empty template should be used.

Yes it's the same but much much much better...
