Figure 285: Creating a template using a wizard
2) Follow the instructions on the pages of the wizard. This process is
slightly different for each type of template, but the format is
similar for all of them.
3) In the last section of the wizard, you can specify the name and
location for saving the template. The default location is your user
templates directory, but you can choose a different location if you
prefer.
4) Finally, you have the option of creating a new document from your
template immediately, or manually changing the template. For
future documents, you can re-use the template created by the
wizard, just as you would use any other template.
Editing 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 that you can only reapply styles. You cannot
reapply content.)
To edit a template:
1) From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Organize. The
Template Management dialog box opens (see Figure 286).
