Setting a default template
If you create a document by choosing File > New > Text Document (or Spreadsheet, Presentation, or Drawing) from the main menu, OOo creates the document from the Default template for that type of document. You can, however, set a custom template to be the default. You can reset the default later if you choose.
Setting a custom template as the default
You can set any template to be the default, as long as it is in one of the folders displayed in the Template Management window.
To save a template in one of these folders, do one of the following:
- Create and save the template as described in Creating a template.
- Import the template into the desired folder as described in Importing a template.
To set a custom template as the default:
- From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Organize. The Template Management window opens.
- In the box on the left, double-click the folder containing the template that you want to set as the default.
- Click the template that you want to set as the default.
- Click the Commands button.
- From the drop-down menu, choose Set As Default Template. The next time that you create a document by choosing File > New, the document will be created from this template.
Resetting the default to OOo's in-built Default template
To re-enable OOo's Default template for a document type as the default:
- From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Organize. The Template Management dialog opens.
- In the box on the left, click any folder.
- Click the Commands button.
- From the drop-down menu, choose Reset Default Template.
