Figure 292. 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 or double-sided printing, 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.
Creating a template using a wizard
You can use wizards to create Writer templates for letters, faxes, and agendas.
For example, the Fax Wizard steps you through the following choices:
• Type of fax (business or personal)
• Document elements like the date, subject line (business fax), salutation, and
complimentary close
• Options for sender and recipient information (business fax)
• Text to include in the footer (business fax)
To create a template using a wizard:
1) From the main menu, choose File > Wizards > [type of template required].
