Figure 91: Templates and Documents dialog.
Creating a template
You can create a template from a document:
1) Open a new or existing document of the type you want to make
into a template (text document, spreadsheet, drawing,
presentation).
2) Add the content and styles that you want.
3) From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Save. The
Templates dialog opens (see Figure 92).
4) In the New template field, type a name for the new template.
5) In the Categories list, click the category to which you want to
assign the template. The category you choose has no effect on the
template itself; it is simply the folder in which you save the
template. Choosing an appropriate folder (category) makes it
easier to find the template when you want to use it. You may wish
to create a folder for Calc templates.
To learn more about template folders, see “Organizing templates”
on page 126.
6) Click OK to save the new template.
