I am trying to find some doc on how to take a current document and
make a template out of it. I did see this on the web, but I can not
find it now. Any pointer please.
Start at:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/OOo3_User_Guides/Chapters
. You will see that there are many chapters available dealing with
templates in different types of OpenOffice documents.
But here's the quick version:
o Prepare your template. If you are starting from an existing
document, you will probably want to remove most or all of the text,
leaving just the structure: styles, formatting, and so on.
o Go to File | Templates > | Save ... .
o Give the template a name.
o Choose a suitable Category.
o Click OK.
To use the template, either click Templates... on the Welcome
("splash") screen or go to File | New... | Templates and Documents.
If you prefer, you can save a template using File | Save As... and
then selecting the appropriate template type under "Save as
type:". If you then save the template somewhere convenient, you can
simply double-click it (or a shortcut to it) in order to start
OpenOffice if necessary and start a new document based on it.
I trust this helps.
