Templates

Each template has one layout. There are no fonts, colours or letterheads to design.

  • Plain: headings, lists and tables, with no extra layout.
  • Letter: your address and the date on the right, theirs on the left, and your sign-off.
  • Report: a title page, a contents list, page numbers and numbered headings.
  • Article: the title, a standfirst, the author and the date, with pull quotes.

Your details

Enter your name, address and sign-off once, on your account page. Every letter and article uses them. To change them for one document, use File, Properties.

Word, PDF or OpenDocument

Templates work with Word (.docx), PDF, OpenDocument (.odt) and HTML. Footnotes are numbered. Print preview, on Shift+F7, shows the pages first.

Are the templates free?

Yes. Plain, Letter, Report and Article all come with the free floppy disk edition.
