3.1.8 Finding Templates

Templates greatly enhance the use of OpenOffice.org by simplifying formatting tasks for a variety
of different types of documents. OpenOffice.org comes with a few templates, and you can find
additional templates on the Internet. You can also create your own. Creating templates is beyond the
scope of this guide, but detailed instructions are found in the OpenOffice.org help system and in
other documents and tutorials available online.
In addition to templates, you can find other extras and add-ins online. The following table lists a few
of the prominent places where you can find templates and other extras. (Because Web sites often
close or their content changes, the information in the following table might not be current when you
read it.)
