Every business that is starting out or trying to reorganize its operations uses an office suite. Most of them only use the word processor and spreadsheet programs, though the suites usually come with a presentation program, a graphics illustration program, and a database editing program. By far the most basic and widely used component is the word processor.

The three most popular office suites are Microsoft Office, Open Office (by Apache), and Libre Office. Open Office was developed by the Linux community (as were Firefox and Thunderbird). However, The Apache Foundation bought Open Office and the community forked Libre Office from Open Office. Now Libre Office is the default installed office suite for nearly every brand of Linux (and there are hundreds of brands, i.e. Ubuntu, Red Hat, OpenSuSE, Linux Mint, Debian, Centos, Fedora, SuSE, ChaletOS, Arch Linux, as examples). There is only one brand of Windows, Microsoft. So your choices there are quite limited in that sphere. Their respective word processors are MS Word (Microsoft Office), OO Writer (Open Office), and Libre Writer (Libre Office). Since Libre Office has overtaken Open Office in installations and it is the most widely used free solution for offices, we are going to focus on Libre Writer for word processing solutions for the office. Both Open Office and Libre Office are compatible with the current and past versions of MS Office.

In this video I will show you how to set up your own template that will be used as the default for any new word processing file you create. So when you click NEW on the text document, you will get a document that looks exactly like how you set this template up today. You can repeat these instructions any time in order to set up multiple templates for various uses. Then you can choose to create NEW text document from template and choose one of your non-default templates. The power of the template is that you have designed it as a generic representation of a document that you create often, but that requires different data or content with each document. Think of the template as a design and layout tool. You are setting the design and layout of that particular type of document. Then when you create the document from that template the document has exactly the same design and layout as every other document you have created based on that template. The contents are all that differ.
