In the Extension Manager dialog, click Add.

Templates installed using the Extension Manager may be installed in their own folders. If you have created your own templates, or imported templates from another location, they are probably stored in the My Templates folder in the Templates and Documents - Templates window. To open a new presentation based on a template, double-click that template's name in the list.

This opens the Templates and Documents - Templates window. You can create a new presentation from a previously saved presentation template by choosing File > New > Templates and Documents from the menu bar. Both types have predefined presentation and graphics styles. The difference between them is that “Presentation" templates include a series of slides with sample titles and topics, while “Presentation background" templates have only backgrounds and background objects. Two are in the Presentations folder and three are in the Presentation backgrounds folder. Impress comes with five presentation templates. If you have not defined your own default template, OOo uses an inbuilt blank template supplied with the program. If you have turned the Presentation Wizard off, when you start a new presentation by choosing File > New > Presentation from the menu bar, OOo uses the default presentation template. When you choose File > New > Presentation from the menu bar, if the Presentation Wizard is active, the Wizard offers several choices for a new presentation, one of which is From template. However, Impress is a little different from other OOo components, in that it starts with the Presentation Wizard unless you have elected to turn the Wizard off. All documents in (OOo) are based on templates.
