Editing templates. You can edit or generally treat a template file just like any other;
however, we recommend editing a template with special care, because it can be easy
to open a template file and then save it by mistake as a normal OOoWriter .sxw file,
which would interfere with the template’s linkages and storage location.
One direct way to edit a template is to select File ➝ New ➝ Templates and Documents. This opens up the Templates and Documents window directly in the Default
folder. Click through the Templates folders to find the template you wish to edit.
Click once to highlight it. This will light up the Edit button at the bottom of the window, second from the left. Clicking the Edit button will open your template, ready
for edits. When you save via this route, the proper directory path and file format
appear automatically in the Save dialog, so there’s less opportunity to mishandle
your template.
Managing templates. You can also save any of your own documents as a template or,
later, move them into one of the Templates folders/categories using the Template
Manager (Figure 8-5). Access the Template Manager from the main menu by selecting File ➝ Templates ➝ Organize.

You can browse documents in the right-hand pane of the Template Manager and
drop them into folders in the templates pane on the left-hand side.
Template Manager also offers facilities for importing, updating, and adjusting the
printer settings associated with templates.
