Create Your Libreoffice Invoice Template for Logistics Effortlessly

Libreoffice invoice template for Logistics

hello everyone max here with a website pro and today we're going to be talking about libreoffice templates specifically in libreoffice writer okay so in this lesson we're going to learn how to find a template how to open a template delete a template and port a template so first of all to navigate to your templates you could go to file templates and then either open a template or manage template we're just going to click the manage template but there's also another way to get here too if you hit or press ctrl shift and n on your keyboard it also brings up this template window okay now we're going to use this first one the the modern business if you hover over you could get you could see the the name of the template you could double click it or or highlight it and click open whatever whichever you prefer and then when you do that it brings up a new uh template now you'll notice in this template there's these highlighted fields with tags in them like center's name company name address street so on and so forth you might wonder what that is but what that is is a mail merge you have to have a database that brings in and fills out these fields so for example if you want to mail this letter to a thousand people or 50 people or whatever then what you would do is connect your database to this document and whenever you get ready to print them out or email them out it'll print them out one at a time with the different names and addresses and so forth on it okay so that's that's how you can uh find a template you know within your libre office writer but there's other ways to find templates as well let me show you how to get a new new template if you hit control shift and n once again you notice this little uh icon down here beside the cog and the help if you click on that it's going to open a website right here called extensions.libreoffice.org and then here we have extensions and documentation in template repository okay now for writer you would select this for your extensions documentations and templates and what that will do is that'll filter it out so you could get to what what you need for your particular application in libreoffice because libreoffice has impress they have draw they have calc they have a lot of different applications within the library office suite so you would want to go to writer and then hit templates to try to filter and get to where you need to be as far as these templates now you're probably not going to be impressed with the templates for libreoffice here but i have good news for you if you want you can also also bring up you can type in a google or bing search libreoffice templates and there's a site that i use quite a bit it's libreofficetemplates.net and then here it's kind of nice because if you go over to the left hand side you can navigate to these different templates like school and teacher templates and if you look at here uh now they do have ones for a different one like uh the the database or calc for libreoffice but we're specifically interested in the writer ones now on here the only bad thing about this is i haven't seen any way to filter uh the library office writer from the library office database calc draw impress but anyway we're going to grab this task list right here because i've downloaded this before to use within my libreoffice writer i'll give it a minute because it will download but they're also trying to you know sell you on this dude like you don't have to click this but download free uh oh am i yes you do you have to click on this particular one and now it's downloading to the computer now what i can do is i can just click on this and it will open this particular task list and if i want to save this in my templates all i would have to do is go to file templates save as oh shoot file templates save as template and then right here i could give this template a name i could call it tasks okay and then i could save it in a category called my templates business correspondence but i'll save it under my templates and then click save and now i'll have that for future use so if i x out let's x out here and let me move this off into my other screen i'll cancel this and let me reopen libreoffice writer here i'm just typing writer so i'll go to file templates then i can open the template and then you can see here that i have tasks i have it within my libreoffice system it opens just fine okay now there's another way to bring in a template if you go to bring up my writer again if you go to file templates manage templates and here you can import a template you can see i got my tasks there but we'll just go ahead and import it again okay so we'll select the category we'll select the category as my templates have it or actually we could create a new category now notice we have to have none selected if we created it create a new category but we'll just go ahead and import it into my templates and here we have a task so i'll click open once again now it's going to tell me that you know i've already imported it so i will go ahead import my template i'll find a find one of my downloads okay now this scr2 i've imported it as a template into my template so so that's using the import now the other thing that you could do is export templates let's say that you can you can create a beautiful template blah blah blah and then you you can save this as a template file templates save as template and we'll give it under my templates test save it as test save that now we could go file templates manage templates and then click on the template that we want to export and hit export and save it into a file out here possibly documents or whatever i will save it into documents so i could show you it shows that it's been successfully exported and we'll bring up the files documents here and here we have the test document that we just created and then when we open it's just going to have that text in there okay but you could actually you know be formatting it with pictures and so on and so forth temp uh different tables and images whatever okay so let me check to make sure that i've covered everything with this particular
