This project aims to improve this situation. Installing this package thus has no effect on the templates available to the user in Impress, and no other template packages appear to be available. Most amazing of all is the lack of packages containing additional templates for most distros.įor example, the libreoffice-templates package (description: "Additional set of templates for LibreOffice") that is available in Ubuntu, only contains the 8 default templates that come with LibreOffice itself.


There are surprisingly few usable templates there - many are abandoned, not actually available for download, lacking any license information, and so on - but those that can be downloaded and used are often not what one might expect to see in a modern presentation.įurther searching will turn up various odds-and-ends that have cropped up over the years - a download here, a website there - as well as more unlicensed or non-free templates and even suggestions to just use. Many people online have asked about where to find more and better templates, and they are usually directed to the LibreOffice Templates website. LibreOffice comes pre-installed with a handful of barebones templates that are not terribly useful. It is surprisingly difficult to find well-designed presentation templates for LibreOffice Impress under a free license.
