Modifying a template

You can edit a template’s styles and content, and then, if you wish, you

can reapply the template’s styles to documents that were created from

that template.

Note

You can only reapply styles. You cannot reapply content.

To edit a template:

1) From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Edit. A

standard file browser window opens.

2) Find and select the template that you want to edit, and then click

Open. The selected template opens in Impress.

3) Edit the template just as you would any other presentation. To

save your changes, choose File > Save from the main menu.

The next time that you open a document that was created from the

changed template, the following message appears.

Figure 30. Apply current styles message

Click Yes to apply the template’s changed styles to the document. Click

No if you never want to apply the template’s changed styles to the

document. Whichever option you choose, the message box closes and

the document opens in OOo.

Organizing templates

OOo can only use templates that are in OOo template folders. You can,

however, create new OOo template folders and use them to organize

your templates. For example, you might have separate template folders

for templates for different purposes or projects. You can also import

and export templates.

To begin, choose File > Templates > Organize from the main menu.

The Template Management dialog box (Figure 28) opens.

Note

All the actions made by the Commands button in the Template

Management window can be made as well by right-clicking on

the templates or the folders.
