Extra! Extra!

Before we move away from the classic office applications, I would like to take another moment to address the issue of templates. Although StarOffice, the nonfree commercial sibling of OpenOffice.org, comes with a number of templates for word processing, spreadsheets, and presentation graphics, OpenOffice.org is still quite light in this area. As I mentioned earlier, the Impress package includes only a couple of templates.

To that end, I'm going to remind you of the Web sites I mentioned at the end of Chapter 13. They are Travis Bauer's OOExtras site and Scott Carr's OpenOffice.org Documentation Project. Both are excellent starting points for adding to your collection of templates. Look for the links to both in the Resources section.

Perhaps, in time, you too will contribute to this growing body of work.
