Getting Started Guide

You can also save menu and toolbar customizations in templates; see Chapter 14
(Customizing OpenOffice.org) for more information.
Creating a template using a wizard
You can use wizards to create templates for letters, faxes, agendas, presentations,
and Web pages.
For example, the Fax Wizard guides you through the following choices:
• Type of fax (business or personal)
• Document elements like the date, subject line (business fax), salutation, and
complementary close
• Options for sender and recipient information (business fax)
• Text to include in the footer (business fax)
To create a template using a wizard:
1) From the main menu, choose File > Wizards > [type of template required].

2) Follow the instructions on the pages of the wizard. This process is slightly
different for each type of template, but the format is very similar.
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.
