Hi Eyal, 

Yes I believe it is possible to create a template, as Bogdan has shown, but a
template is not the feature I was suggesting/requestiong. The "pleading" format
is different from country to country, and even with in the United States (where
I reside) can vary from court to court, so a menu/popup with adjustable options
would be more beneficial to the user.

"Pleading" is just formatting: paper size, margins, page borders, line numbers,
and lines-per-page restriction (to match the number of lines in the pleading) 

Everything else on the document screenshot you previously should be omitted
(header, body text, court filing section, etc) because those things are not
part of the document format, they are specialized to whatever document is being
filed with the court. 

The feature I am requesting is a copy of the "Pleading Paper" feature of
WordPerfect: a button that brings up a menu/popup collating all of the
different elements that might be needed for the pleading format: page size,
margins, number of text lines, number of page border lines -on each side of the
page-, font for the numbering, spacing between numbering and border lines, page
numbering, etc. All of these things will be different for each court/country,
which is why I had requested the menu/popup for the user to choose their
options, and not simply a template for the format. 

The copy-cat feature from WordPerfect could benefit users of LibreOffice that
are in the legal profession, as several countries around the globe are in the
process of switching to Linux and thus LibreOffice. 

I am unfortunately not skilled enough in programming to create this feature
myself, I am at the very beginnings of my programming journey.
