A template is a model that you use to create other documents.
For example, you can create a template for business reports
that has your company’s logo on the first page. New
documents created from this template will all have your
company’s logo on the first page. 22 | P a g e Templates can
contain anything that regular documents can contain, such as
text, graphics, a set of styles, and user-specific setup
information such as measurement units, language, the default
printer, and toolbar and menu customization. All documents in
[Link] are based on templates. You can create a
specific template for any document type (text, spreadsheet,
drawing, presentation). If you do not specify a template when
you start a new document, then the document is based on the
default template for that type of document. If you have not
specified a default template, Open Office uses the blank
template for that type of document that is installed with Open
Office.

document, and using a wizard. Creating A Template From A

CREATE AND CUSTOMIZE TABLE OF CONTENTS
Creating a Table of Contents
Writer’s table of contents feature lets you build an automated
table of contents from the headings in your document. Before
you start, make sure that the headings are styled consistently.
For example, you can use the Heading 1 style for chapter titles
and the Heading 2 and Heading 3 styles for chapter
subheadings.
Opening Writer's Table Of Contents Feature
Although tables of contents can be customized extensively in
Writer, often the default settings are all you need. Creating a
quick table of contents is simple:
1. When you create your document, use the following
paragraph styles for different heading levels (such as chapter
and section headings): Heading 1, Heading 2, and Heading 3.
These are what will appear in your table of contents. You can
use more levels of headings, but the default setting is to use
only the first three levels in the table of contents.
2. Place the cursor where you want the table of contents to be
inserted.
3. Select Insert > Indexes and Tables > Indexes and Tables.
4. Change nothing in the Insert Index/Table dialog. Click OK
Deleting A Table Of Contents
To delete the table of contents from a document:
1. Click anywhere in the table of contents and then right click.
The context menu appears. 2. From the context menu, choose
Delete Index/Table. Writer deletes the table of contents.
