Chapter 2: Working With OpenOffice.org

Creating a Letter Template With the Wizard

If one is writing a personal letter, the Wizard and standard AutoTexts are not essential, but in

formal business correspondence these aids can save a lot of time and make work much easier.

Note: To produce a standard letter, have a look at the supplied templates. Simply press the shortcut keys

Shift+Ctr+N

or choose File > New > Templates and Documents.

Start the Wizard with the File > Wizards > Letter menu command.

Treat this section as a tutorial on the OpenOffice.org template Wizard. Although the Wizard

does produce a document that can immediately be filled in, printed, and sent, using the

Wizard is really meant to help create customized templates. Customized templates for such

things as business letters, faxes and other types of documents for which there is a Wizard

ensures that correspondence has a consistent format.

While one may, there is no need to go through all the steps of the Wizard each time one

wants to write a letter. However, in order to get the most from the following, it is

recommended that one accept all the defaults provided without changing them, and then print

the result. Click Next on each dialogue page, so that every page is seen at least once during

the learning process. Examine each of the Wizard pages while going through the process of

creating a letter template. Enter data or modify options on each page as necessary. Each page

allows modifications according to each user's preferences including sender and recipient

addresses, both of which can also be entered manually. (For example, sender information is

automatically taken from the personal details that each user enters at the time of installation.

These details may be changed at any time by selecting Tools > Options >OpenOffice.org >

User Data and entering new information or editing existing details.) Predefined elements will

appear but users always have the final say on what to include in their letter.

Thanks to the Wizard, one doesn't have to start from scratch but can use preexisting texts

when creating custom templates, whether for business letters, faxes, memos, or other

documents.
