<p class="Head3">How to simplify your work using Samples and Templates.</p>
<p class="Paragraph"><help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> comes with a large number of sample documents and templates. You can access these by choosing <span class="T1">File - New - </span><help:link Id="68342" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><span class="T1">Styles and documents</span></help:link> or via the shortcut keys (Shift)<help:switch select="System" xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help"><help:case select="MAC">(Command)</help:case><help:default>(Ctrl)</help:default></help:switch>(N).</p>
<p class="Paragraph">If you call up one of the templates, a new document is created based on this template. Use the various AutoPilots (under <span class="T1">File</span> menu) to create user-defined templates, for example, for faxes, presentations or web pages which you can use as a basis for further documents.</p>
<p class="Paragraph">Use the provided templates directly or to learn the techniques in working with <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname>. If you design a <span class="T1">bulletin</span>, write a <span class="T1">book</span> or administrate your <span class="T1">finances</span>, <span class="T1">forms</span> or <span class="T1">contracts</span> or even design a <span class="T1">CD Cover</span>, you'll definitely find that <help:productname xmlns:help="http://openoffice.org/2000/help">%PRODUCTNAME</help:productname> has the desired template for these and many more tasks.</p>
