Creating Documents by Using a Template

You can create templates from documents that you frequently create. For example, if you often create invoices, you can create an empty invoice document and save the document as invoice.doc in the $HOME/Templates folder.

To access the templates folder from a file browser window, choose Go →Templates . The template name is displayed as a submenu item in the Create Document menu.

You can also create subfolders in the template folder. Subfolders display as submenus in the menu. You can also share templates. Create a symbolic link from the template folder to the folder containing the shared templates.

How to Create a Document From a Template

1. Select the folder where you want to create the new document.
2. Choose File → Create Document or right-click the background of the view pane, then choose Create Document.

   The names of any available templates are displayed as submenu items from the Create Document menu.

3. Double-click the template name for the document that you want to create.
4. Rename the document before saving it to the appropriate folder.
