You can create templates from documents that you frequently create. For example, if you often create invoices, you can create an empty invoice document and save the document as invoice.doc in the $HOME/Templates folder.
You can also access the templates folder from a file browser window. Choose Go ▸ Templates.
The template name is displayed as a submenu item in the Create Document menu.
You can also create subfolders in the template folder. Subfolders display as submenus in the menu.
You can also share templates. Create a symbolic link from the template folder to the folder containing the shared templates.
If you have document templates, you can choose to create a document from one of the installed templates.
To create a document perform the following steps:
Select the folder where you want to create the new document.
Choose File ▸ Create Document. Alternatively, right-click on the background of the view pane, then choose Create Document.
The names of any available templates are displayed as submenu items from the Create Document menu.
Double-click on the template name for the document that you want to create.
Rename the document before saving to the appropriate folder.
