You can edit a template’s styles and content, and then, if you wish, you can reapply the template’s styles to documents that were created from that template. (Note that you can only reapply styles. You cannot reapply content, except for content in headers and footers.)
To edit a template:
- From the main menu, choose File > Templates > Organize. The Template Management dialog box opens.
- In the box on the left, double-click the folder containing the template that you want to edit. A list of all the templates contained in that folder appears underneath the folder name.
- Select the template that you want to edit.
- Click the Commands button and choose Edit from the drop-down menu.
- Edit the template just as you would any other document. To save your changes, choose File > Save from the main menu.
Updating a document from a changed template
The next time that you open a document that was created from the changed template, the following message appears.
Click Yes to apply the template’s changed styles to the document. Click No if you do not want to apply the template’s changed styles to the document (but see Caution notice below).
To re-enable updating from a template:
- Use Tools > Macros > Organize Macros > OpenOffice.org Basic. Select the document from the list, click the +, and select Standard. If Standard has a + beside it, click that and select a module.
- Name the macro. For example, you could call it FixDocument. If the Edit button is active, click it. If the Edit
button is not active, click New, type a module name in the pop-up dialog, and click OK.
- In the Basic window, enter the following: Sub FixDocV3' set UpdateFromTemplate oDocSettings = ThisComponent.createInstance( _"com.sun.star.document.Settings" )oDocSettings.UpdateFromTemplate = True End Sub 'FixDocV3
- Click the Run BASIC icon, then close the Basic window.
- Save the document.
Next time when you open this document you will have the update from template feature back.
