<title>Creating Templates, Saving a document as a template and Deleting Templates</title>
|
|
|
|
<para>&kword; comes with several predefined templates (both
|
|
Page Layout and Text Oriented templates), which are designed
|
|
to provide initial formatting of documents.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If, however, the same format for a custom document is used over and
|
|
over, &kword; can create a template which more
|
|
exactly matches the needs of the document.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>An unlimited number of templates can be created in &kword;, and
|
|
they can be organized into categories for easy recall.</para>

|
<para>Templates are created by first generating the layout in
|
|
&kword; based on one of the predefined templates, and then saving the
|
|
file. Instead of saving it as a traditional file, it is saved as a
|
|
template.</para>

|
|
document as a template.</para>
