Deleting a template
You cannot delete templates supplied with LibreOffice or installed using the Extension Manager;
you can only delete templates that you have created or imported.
To delete a template:
1) In the Template Manager dialog, double-click the folder that contains the template you want
to delete.
2) Click the template that you want to delete.
3) Click the Delete button above the list of templates. A message box appears and asks you
to confirm the deletion. Click Yes.
Importing a template
If the template that you want to use is in a different location, you must import it into a LibreOffice
template folder.
To import a template into a template folder:
1) In the Template Manager dialog, select the folder into which you want to import the
template.
2) Click the Import button above the list of template folders. A standard file browser window
opens.
3) Find and select the template that you want to import and click Open. The file browser
window closes and the template appears in the selected folder.
Exporting a template
To export a template from a template folder to another location:
1) In the Template Manager dialog, double-click the folder that contains the template you want
to export.
2) Click the template that you want to export.
3) Click the Export button above the list of template folders. The Save As window opens.
4) Find the folder into which you want to export the template and click Save.
Examples of style use
The following examples of common use of page and paragraph styles are taken from Writer. There
are many other ways to use styles; see the guides for the various components for details.
Defining a different first page for a document
Many documents, such as letters and reports, have a first page that is different from the other
pages in the document. For example, the first page of a letterhead typically has a different header,
or the first page of a report might have no header or footer, while the other pages do. With
LibreOffice, you can define the page style for the first page and specify the style for the following
pages to be applied automatically.
As an example, we can use the First Page and Default page styles that come with LibreOffice.
Figure 57 shows what we want to happen: the first page is to be followed by the default page, and
all the following pages are to be in the Default page style. Details are in Chapter 4, Formatting
Pages, in the Writer Guide.
