10.1 Creating a New Document 

There are multiple ways to create a new Writer document:

From Scratch.  To create a new empty document, click File › New › Text Document.

Using a Wizard.  To use a standard format and predefined elements for your own documents, use a wizard. Click File › Wizards › Letter and follow the steps.

From a Template.  To use a template, click File › New › Templates and open, for example, Business Correspondence. From the list of text document templates, select the one that fits your needs.

For example, to create a business letter, click File › Wizards › Letter. Using the wizard, you can easily create a basic document using a standard format. A sample wizard dialog is shown in Figure 10.1.
