I think that page 334 describes master documents (suffix .odm) rather
than master templates (suffix .otm), which I see appear in the save
dialog as an option, so I'm still confused (or at least I was until I
read Regina's answer).

All:

How does one construct an .OTM document?



That is a document template for master documents.

You start with making a master document. File > New > Master Document.
If you would make a normal Master Document, you would save it as "ODF 
Master Document (*.odm)".
To get a document template instead, use File > Templates > 'Save as 
template...'. Using that way, it is automatically managed by the 
Template Manager and master documents created from this template will 
have a link to the template.
Or you use File > 'Save as...' and select the type "ODF Master Document 
Template (*.otm)". You can still create a master document from this 
template, but it will not be linked to the template.


All that is the same as for other kind of document templates. In general 
the file name extension ot* is used for document templates and od* for 
normal documents.


The master document template belongs to the ODF 1.3 standard, which is 
supported by LibreOffice starting with version 7.0.


Kind regards
Regina

See page 334 "Using master documents".
OTM = OpenDocument Text Master

I'm confused 'otm' does not appear in that book? (Whatever a .OTM is)
