I have not been able to put together the concepts of templates and
styles.
I think that they work together. But how.
Here are some thoughts. They are seperate thoughts, not steps to follow
one after the other.
1. Styles are stored in documents.
2. If you want to create a document with styles you created in another
document, open the other document, use Save As to give it a new name, and
use it as the basis for your new document.
3. Templates is an automated way of doing point 2.
4. It is possible to transfer styles from one document to another by using
the "New Style from Selection / Load Style" option from Styles and
Formatting.
I am trying to set up the Style (do I need a template as well?0 to
produce
the By-Laws of an organization to which I belong. So far nothing but
stuff
all over.
Is this going to be one document, or a series of documents that have
basically the same format? If it is just one document, create the document
as normal (no templates needed).
If it is going to be a series of documents, create one document that will
be the foundation of the others, and save it as a template (call it
something like "bylaws"). Then when someone wants to create a new by-laws
document, they would select File / New / Templates and Documents, and open
the bylaws template.
(If people are not going to be using the same computer for this, but
different computers on the network, then there is a special place you can
save this template so everyone can access it. I can't remember how to do
that at the moment.)
I hope those thoughts are helpful, if you have more specific questions,
please ask.
