2. There is no File ==> Save or File ==> Save As that will preserve as a
template the preferences set in the current document. In other word
processors, I could save preferences as a template in that way, but not
in Writer. In Writer I must set the preferences (as, for example, in a
blank document) and then select File ==> Templates ==> Save. _Then_ I
can select the folder within which the current preferences can be saved
as a named template.
File|Save as > Choose OTT as format.
3. Writer is _really_ tough on me when I want a header area to be
defined on page two and on succeeding pages but not (as is the norm) on
page one. To accomplish this feat in Writer, I have to create two page
styles within a given template, one for the first page of a document (no
header area) and one for the second and succeeding pages (header area).
Within a blank document, I begin with Format ==> Page, and create a page
style for the second and succeeding pages -- the ones for which a header
area will be needed. I turn on the header area within it; set the page
style which follows it to be itself (I can do this only within a page
style); and save it under a name like "followon_page".
Then I create another page style, also within the blank document within
which I am working. I do _not_ turn on the header area within this
second page style. Where I may indicate what page style follows the
current page style, I specify the _other_ page style ("followon_page").
I save the second style under a name like "first_page". I then apply the
_second_ page style -- that is, "first_page" -- to the blank document.
(Why? Because the blank document begins with its first page. The first
page does not have a header area. The page style for a page that does
_not_ have a header area is the one that I named "first_page".)
Then I save the blank document, including any other preferences that I
wanted, as a template. I would suggest using a name for this template
like "mydoc1", which suggests that this template begins with the special
page-one page style (no header area) and then, on the second and
succeeding pages, switches to the normal page style (header area).
Is that complex enough?
- Rightclick on status bar, left from middle, and change Default in
First Page.
- Ctrl-Enter for new page.
- Choose Insert|Header|Default
Is that short enough ;-)
