Templates and Styles

A template is a document that contains specific formatting styles, graphics, tables, object, and other information. A template is used as the basis for creating other documents. For example, you can define paragraph and character styles in a document, save the document as a template, and then use the template to create a new document with the same styles.

Unless you specify otherwise, every new OpenOffice.org text document is based on the default template.

OpenOffice.org has a number of predefined templates that you can use to create different types or text documents, such as business letters.

Viewing and Organizing Styles in Templates

  • Use the Template Management dialog to copy styles from one document to another.

  • To copy a style, drag it to another template or document.
