[Solved] Short Story templates

[The Writer]

My name is The Writer, and I have Open Office 4.5.1, and I was wondering why I can't get templates for writing short stories? I have templates for writing books but, I am struggling to get templates for short stories. If someone can please help me out with this, I would it. Thanks.

There is not Apache OpenOffice 4.5.1 version today. Maybe your office suite is LibreOffice, or you have 4.1.5 version of the AOO.

I think, you must make them. There are template downloading pages, where there are templates created by the user's community. You can search for the desired template, but...

I appreciated the links. I found the templates and they are called book manuscripts. Thanks for the help. I have also book marked a guy's example of a short story format, and I remember his last name being Shun. I have been trying to make some good short stories and I have some pretty good ideas and now that I have the template, I can write them.
