Setting a default template
If you create a document by choosing File > New > Text Document from the main
menu, Writer creates the document from the Default template for text documents.
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 dialog box. If necessary, you can add the
template to a folder as described in “Importing a template” on page 300.
To set a custom template as the default:
1) From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Organize. The Template
Management dialog box (Figure 294) opens.
2) In the box on the left, select the folder that contains the template that you
want to set as the default, then select the template.
3) Click the Commands button and choose Set as Default Template from the
drop-down menu.
The next time that you create a document by choosing File > New > Text
Document, the document will be created from this template.
Although many important settings can be changed in the Options dialog (see Chapter
2), for example default fonts and page size, more advanced settings (such as page
margins) can only be changed by replacing the default template with a new one.
