Templates
A template is a special type of document that you use as a basis for creating other documents. For
example, you can create a template for company drawings so that any new drawing has your
company logo and name on the first page and any remaining pages in your drawing only show the
company name.
Templates can contain anything that regular documents can contain, such as text, graphics, a set
of styles, and user-specific setup information such as measurement units, language, the default
printer, and toolbar and menu customization.
All documents created using LibreOffice are based on templates. You can create a specific
template for any document type (text, spreadsheet, drawing, or presentation). If you do not specify
a template when you start a new document, then the document is based on the default template for
that type of document. If you have not specified a default template, LibreOffice uses the blank
template for that type of document that is installed with LibreOffice. This default template can be
changed, see “Setting default template” on page 210 for more information.
For more information on templates, see the Getting Started Guide Chapter 3 Using Styles and
Templates.
Note
Draw does not have any predefined templates when it is installed on a computer.
However, you can install templates from other sources or create your own
templates; these methods are described in the following sections.
