Add document templates

Before you can create documents using ICE you will need to add some ICE templates. In order to use the ICE templates affectively also install the word processor toolbars.

1. Create a folder called ‘templates’ in the root of your repository. For example if your content was located in ~\ICE\MyFiles make the directory ~\ICE\MyFiles\templates

2. Download either an OpenOffice.org template (Default.odt) and/or Word template (Default.doc) into the templates directory you just added. Change these files or add others into the template directory as required.

   You should now be able to create new files using the “Add” tab in ICE.
