Table of contents? Table of Illustrations? Table of Figures? Number of chapters? Chapter Subtitles? Number of Appendices? You answer all these questions and it produces a Master document and sub documents with the pages set to appropriate styles and you just fill in the blanks.
Unfortunately, to do it I need to learn OO macro programming 25 years since I did any , and I'd rather get on with my own writing instead. I don't have to worry about publishers stripping all my formating, as I either circulate as.
Re: Book writer's templates by morlock9 » Fri Jul 17, am Well worth it to spend the time making your own template- using Master Document and having each chapter be a separate file, or subdocument.
Indexing and generating a Table of Contents is then easy. The most difficult concept for me was the use of headings heading 1 for chapter titles. The proper use of them gives you your Master Document Table of Contents and sequential numbering. If you are a professional writer, time invested in learning the OO template system is time wisely invested indeed. The page is in Swedish but if you download all the files with the name openoffice.
They are in Swedish and English. The template use macros. The page does not say anything about using the template outside Uppsala University. The page is freely accessible from outside the University. Therefore I guess that anyone can use the template. I think this is one of the best book templates I have seen in Openoffice. The University of Uppsala has done a good job and many thesis will be written in OpenOffice! After thrashing about with the concept of templates and such, I ended up just doing chapters as individual files.
In my outline, I created a hyperlink to each file just under each major section title. This allows you to move chapters around with relative ease, just by moving sections in the outline. Also, OpenWriter slows down horrendously as file sizes grow, at least on my machine.
I hoped to link everything together in the end by creating a file of nothing but a list of sections, with one hyperlink per section. That didn't work out so well, at least in version 3. It was a good system for writing, but not so hot for printing. Never once outgrabe at all.
Re: Book writer's templates by morlock9 » Fri Aug 07, pm I can't believe you went to all that trouble and didn't use Master Document.

Re: Book writer's templates by Seal » Thu Jun 10, am Ah, but with the growing POD aspects in the publishing industry, a writer's job can and does become much more complex than just writing the manuscript.
Typesetting, layout, images and illustrations as well as preparation of the cover art and design ARE part of the writer's job.
I am currently finishing up a book that covers all these aspects for individuals wanting to publish their own book using their own publishing arm AND do it with OpenOffice. I will be supplying a basic template for download to registered users of my book. The templates will include pages for the front matter, interior files, and back matter as well as a template for a 5. Both can easily be converted to other sizes with minimum effort. The purpose of the book is to provide the tools necessary to publish a book that doesn't look homemade AND do it at a reasonable price without the use of a vanity press.
