You don't *need* a template but having one is the most convenient way to
have Writer "remember" the styles you define. You could just keep them
in a "sample" (perhaps blank) document but really that's all a template
is; Writer just keeps it in a special place so you can't accidently lose
or damage it with injudicious changes. So, once you have used the
information from others in this thread and in the documentation I'm
pretty certain you will end up creating a template containing all the
styles relevant to your By-Laws document. Once you have done that you
can do one of at least two things:
1. Save the template as your default template. This way, every time you
create a new document it will automatically acquire the styles defined
in the template. You will need extra steps (see #2) to create a new
document for some other purpose in which those styles are "wrong" -
"irrelevant" doesn't matter as long as they don't interfere.
2. Save the template under some memorable name e.g. "ByLaws". Now when
you want to create a new By-Laws document you do File>New>Templates and
Documents. You will be offered a choice of the tempates that exist on
your system and you choose the appropriate one.
It depends on your main use of Writer. If the main use is By-Laws, have
that as your default template; if not, don't.
