3) From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Save. The

Templates dialog opens (see Figure 46).

4) In the New template field, type a name for the new template.

5) In the Categories list, click the category to which you want to

assign the template. The category you choose has no effect on the

template itself; it is simply the folder in which you save the

template. Choosing an appropriate category makes it easier to

find the template easily when you want to use it. For example, you

might save Impress templates under the Presentations category.

To learn more about template folders, see “Organizing templates”

on page 76.

6) Click OK to save the new template.

Figure 46: Saving a new template.

Any settings that can be added to or modified in a document can be

saved in a template. For example, below are some of the settings

(although not a full list) that can be included in a Writer document and

then saved as a template for later use:

• Printer settings: which printer, single sided / double sided, and

paper size, and so on

• Styles to be used, including character, page, frame, numbering

and paragraph styles

• Format and settings regarding indexes, tables, bibliographies,

table of contents

Templates can also contain predefined text, saving you from having to

type it every time you create a new document. For example, a letter

template may contain your name, address and salutation.

You can also save menu and toolbar customizations in templates; see

Chapter 14 (Customizing OpenOffice.org) for more information.
