This brief tutorial shows students and new users how to create templates of commonly used document templates when using Ubuntu 18.04.
If you’re a power user who often creates documents based on the same content, you can create file templates of your commonly used documents to reuse.
This makes it easy to create your next documents.
For example, you can create a business letterhead template or statement. You can then save this file as a template for reuse, so you don’t always have to recreate it every time you start a new document.
For students or new users looking for a Linux system to start learning on, the easiest place to start is Ubuntu Linux OS. It’s a great Linux operating system for beginners.
Ubuntu is an open-source Linux operating system that runs on desktops, laptops, servers, and other devices.
Create a Template
To start using a document template, you must first create it. For example, you could make a letterhead in your word or writer application. Then save the template content in the Template folder of your Home folder or directory.
If the Templates folder does not exist, you will need to create it first.
Browse to the Template folder in your Home and save it there.
Use a Template to Create Documents
Now that a template is created, you can start creating new documents based on the template content created above.
Open the folder where you want to place the new document.
Right-click anywhere in the space in the folder, then choose New Document. The names of available templates will be listed in the sub-menu.
Next, choose the template you created from the list.
Double-click the file to open it and start editing. You can rename the file when you’re done.
That’s it!
