Templates created for thesis

I created templates for the thesis document in Word and OpenOffice. For word, I created both a .doc file and a .dotx file. The .dotx file can be used with the project manager/template feature in Word.

In order for Word to find the template, it needs to be placed in the following folder:
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates/My Templates/.

I created templates for OpenOffice as well. The .odt file is a document. The .ott is a template file. OpenOffice looks for the template files in:
/user/user_name/Library/Application_support/OpenOffice.org/3/user/template/

To use a template in OpenOffice, select the templates icon at startup and look in the my templates folder.

I think that these will be uploaded to a server at UCSD. Jim will let us know where we can access them.
