Three months ago, we opened up the template gallery to everyone. Since then, we have seen a lot of great templates that cover many different use cases, from fun and imaginative to purely functional. We want to share some with you.
First, let's take a look at one template contributor, Jenny Blake, who has created a number of templates to help you think about your career and your life in general.
Template: Life checklist template
Genre: Life planning
We all get very wrapped up in our busy lives and forget to think of the 'big picture'. This template makes it easy to remember and keep track of what's important in your life.

Templates: Paper writing outline #1, Paper writing outline #2
Creator: Lutz Hohle
Genre: Paper writing
Whether you're writing a book or a paper for school, these templates provide a nice outline for many types of writing, including ways to reference citations and headings to break up the various sections of the writing.
If you like what you see, click on any template above and choose 'Use this template'. This will create a copy of the template and store it in your docs list so you can use it and share with others.
Do you have a Google document, presentation or spreadsheet you think others could use as a starting point? Contribute it to the public template gallery.

At this moment, my efforts to use any of these templates are foiled after I click "use this template," whereupon I am brought to a "Welcome to Google.com" screen and asked to log in, even though I am already logged in to all Google services.
Then, when I attempt to log in anyway - entering the requisite captchas, etc. - I am told "The username or password you entered is incorrect."
Of course, commenting here, I am shown as logged in to my Google Account without any issue. Not sure what gives, but would definitely like to give these templates a try.
Hi Victoria,
Thanks for catching that. The links should work now.
Excellent - seems to be working fine now, thanks.
These templates are great. I like the 3rd one.

Thanks for featuring my template! :)
Much more could be possible with having some functions like: Own Styles and better PrinceXML integration.
But I'm sure you are still working on this!
BTW:
I would rather recommend my "Text + Sidenote 1 and 2" templates! The recommended Nr.4 is a bit frisky for daily use!

Thanks for the feedback. I've added one of those two to the original post!

ey kiero obtener writly porfavor... mi msn es eriika.gdnz7@hotmail.com
It seems if I've created the template and I select "Use This Template", when I save it, it actually changes the template. If I use one someone else created, it starts with the name "Copy of ...". I think it'd be good if when you select "Use this template" it starts with no name, until you save it. This would be similar to how it works in MS Office.
