How do you install a template? #6

Closed Oflameo closed 7 years ago

I have been clicking menus for an hour trying to figure out how to load any of these templates. I have mode no progress because there is no way to browse to the directory. I can't find instructions for Libreoffice 4.

You can install the templates in several ways. If you are on Ubuntu or another Debian-based distro there is an installer with step by step instructions here. However, they can also be installed one by one through Impress.

Here are the instructions for LibreOffice 4:

  1. In Impress, click on the File Menu, then Templates, then select Manage. (Or press Ctrl+Shift+N) to enter the template manager.)
  2. Click on My Templates (it should be the first box on the top left).
  3. Now there should be a small button labelled Import at the top left corner of the window. Click on it.
  4. Browse to the .otp file you would like to install and click Open.
  5. Your presentation template should appear in the My Templates folder for future use. (If you don't see it, it may help to exit the Template Manager and open it again.)

Hope this helps. It's not as intuitive as it could be but I'll add these instructions to the main page for others who might be wondering how to install individual templates.
