Creating professional templates with LO Writer

A brief panorama on how much important templates are and what can be done (and automated) inside them.


One of the tasks of my job is to create corporate templates. It is really important to spend the right amount of time on them, since they are the image of the entity (whatever kind of) to the public, and they usually last for decades. Knowing well the needs and requirements is possible to automate a lot of things, still without macros. But pushing so much Writer to its limits let us discover some minor bug or possible enhancements.
