107. Create a New Drawing
Unlike most other OpenOffice.org programs, Draw comes with no templates. Unlike common documents (such as memos) and presentations (such as those that might introduce a new product), drawings can differ from one another in such a major way that there isn't any way OpenOffice.org could provide templates that attempt to help you with what you might want to draw next.
NOTE
Draw does support templates, and you can create your own by saving your drawing with the
File, Save As menu option and selecting the
OpenOffice.org Drawing Template option for the file type.
Most often, you'll create a brand-new drawing from scratch (or change one you've already created). Draw supplies drawing tools such as shapes and lines, and you can place graphic images and charts in your drawings also. Of course, you can put text throughout a drawing and add some effects to the text to make it look more artistic than plain text would look.
NOTE
Unlike in Writer and Impress, AutoPilot provides no help when creating drawings.
