Documentation caution.png Do not give users write permission for template files.

To Add a Template For All Users of a Apache OpenOffice Network Installation

  1. Become root.
  2. Copy the template to the network-install-dir/share/template/ directory.

To Add a Template to a Workstation Installation of Apache OpenOffice

  1. Become root.
  2. Copy the template to the install-dir/user/template/ directory on the workstation.

To Add a Template Directory to an Apache OpenOffice Installation

  1. In any Apache OpenOffice program, choose Tools → Options → Apache OpenOffice → Paths.
  2. In the list of default paths, select Templates, and then click Edit.
  3. In the Select Paths dialog box, click the Add button.
  4. Locate the template directory that you want to add and click OK.
  5. In the Select Paths dialog box, click the OK button.

    • To make the template directory available to all users of the Apache OpenOffice network installation, copy the code into the install-dir/share/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu file.
    • To make the template directory available to a single user of an Apache OpenOffice network installation, copy the code into the install-dir/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Common.xcu file.
