These file templates are the combination of Microsoft Word and Libre Office extensions (.xlsx, .docx, . pptx, . odt, .ods, .odp, and .txt). You can add only one file template for each file type. An Administrator can add a new file template or replace the existing default file templates with the customized template at the location where the default file templates are saved. A maximum of 15 templates can be added and the template name length can be up to 10 characters. The location is given below. Perform the following steps to add a customized file template.
