Creating a New Template

Creating a New Template

Open a blank document, make all the settings changes to font, type, page settings, etc, and then save the settings as a template by choosing save and then Save as type “OpenDocument Spreadsheet Template (.ots)”. Note that you will need to select this setting from a list that is available.

One major point to make, Templates can only be applied to new documents while Styles can be applied to text that is in the process of being written.
