You can create a new presentation from a previously saved

presentation template by choosing File > New > Templates and

Documents from the menu bar. This opens the Templates and

Documents – Templates window. To open a new presentation based on

a template, double-click that template’s name in the list.

Using templates from other sources

If you have created your own templates, or imported templates from

another location, they are probably stored in the My Templates folder

in the Templates and Documents – Templates window. Templates

installed using the Extension Manager may be installed in their own

folders. You can use them in the same way as the templates installed

with OOo.

See page 52 for information on importing templates into OOo.

Installing templates using the Extension Manager

The Extension Manager provides an easy way to install collections of

templates, graphics, macros, or other add-ins that have been

“packaged” into files with a .OXT extension.

Although individual extensions can be found in different places, the

official OpenOffice.org extension repository is at

http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/. Some extensions are free of

charge; others are available for a fee. Check the descriptions to see

what licenses and fees apply to the ones that interest you.

For more about the Extension Manager and some extensions of

interest to Impress users, see Chapter 11 (Setting up and Customizing

Impress).

To install a collection templates packaged as an extension:

1) Download the extension and save it anywhere on your computer.

2) In OOo, select Tools > Extension Manager from the menu bar.

In the Extension Manager dialog, click Add.

3) A file browser window opens. Find and select the extension you

want to install and click Open. The extension begins installing.

You may be asked to accept a license agreement.

4) When the installation is complete, the extension is listed in the

Extension Manager dialog.

The slide masters from the templates will now appear in the list of

Available Master Pages in the Tasks Pane (Figure 17).
