Tip:
Highlight text to annotate it
X
here we have
a simple resume template
open document tex file this is not really template file
to make this a template file we're going to save this file
save as
and we're going to change
the document type
.ott
Open Text Template
and if this were a calc spreadsheet it would be .ots
and you'll know if it's a template or not because it says open document
template right there
so now we're saving this as a template and we're going to see in this on our
desktop
our template saved on the desktop is just like any other file
we can rename it we can email it
but because it's a template
when we double click to open it
it opens as untitled
just like the templates in our file templates folder
in this example we want to add some date fields to the template
we're looking at a work order that we want to make a template
and we want to make the date of request
to be the date we originally started the document
we want the printed on date
to be the current date or date we are opening
the document
i'm going to put in the date of request
insert
fields
other
document we want make this a date
and this one should be date fixed
we went over this earlier in a previous tutorial so I will go over this quickly
just as a review
inserting the fixed date
now i don't even have to get out of here i can keep that
dialogue open
go to the printed on date
make that the date
insert
close
and we can tell these are fields because they're gray
view you can turn off the field shadings
turning those back on
we can also
turn on the field names
now we see this is date fixed and this is date
let's change that back
now we want to save this as a template
file save as
.ott
and we can also put this in our templates with file
templates save
and we will call this work order
so this is now on the desktop as well is in the templates file
we may want to organize our templates files
to do that we go down to file
templates
organize
and we've got a lot in the templates file and we want to and a new one
if i click in this white space
it doesn't allow it. I need to click on one of these other folders any one of
them
right-click
new
and i can add a new folder
will call this one maintenance
and we want to move the work order to the maintenance
folder
i just drag-and-drop
and there it is
if you're going to create labels lake for a return address or so
you don't necessarily have to create your own template
new
we have labels and we have business cards we are looking at labels at the moment
business cards is real similar
and here we can put in our return address if we want a full page of return
addresses
and here's a very common one here in the U.S. Avery letter size fifty one sixty
address
i'm going to create new document
and there we see we despite being what we want to shortlist labels
now these are frames we haven't gone over that yet
there's always to make these in
tables and one way is going to this website and i'll put a link on my
website to this one
here's what this site
looks like world label dot com
openoffice dot org
uses the same format as libre office that open document text format
and it's really nice here you get your label size
the item
what it is in Avery labels per sheet a little description
here we see the when i just had opened fifty one sixty
i can download this
and i would want the .ott
and we see that it's opened as per table
this other file i'll put a link to this one on my side as well
this is an .oxt file
if I double click this
it asks me if i want to add this to my libreoffice three point five i
can click OK and accept it
or let me cancel out
another way to get this in
file open
point to my desktop
find my piece of puzzle here
and i'm going to open it this way
and again, i get the same result it asked me if i want to
add this to libreoffice three point five i'm going to say okay
and it's in
closing this now when i go down to templates
file new
templates and documents
look at all of the templates i have
it added all these in
now you might have to go out to the internet to find out what the world
label eleven twenty five is
but i do know that
world label number twenty five is
and Avery 5167 label sheet
notice there's also labels with rounded corners labels with square corners
oval shaped labels
CD and media
if you've got some cds and you want to create a label for it
you might have to check again with the world label
OL1200 is w l
fifty one fifty I believe this is a cd label and Emmanuel Rosa thank you
a manual for creating this
